Tourists gather around a woman who was attacked by a shark off Thompson Cove Beach in the Turks and Caicos Islands and use their clothes to stem the bleeding.
A shark bit the hands off a woman along the shore of a Caribbean beach while she was trying to take a picture with it.
The 55-year-old woman, who is understood to be Canadian, had only strayed a few yards into the water when she was attacked on Friday, February 7.
According to the local authorities she “attempted to engage” with the shark when the 1.83m-long predatory fish struck off Thompson Cove Beach in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
