BREVARD COUNTY • INDIALANTIC, FLORIDA (WOFL FOX 35) – Bandaged up and back from the hospital, 13-year-old Joshua Stuart says it’s an experience he’ll never forget: being bitten by a shark.

“They checked out the gash, the wound to see what it was and there was a big kind of like mouth you could see where the bite was and they knew it was a shark then,” Stuart said.

It happened Sunday afternoon at Indian Harbor Beach while Stuart and his friends were out surfing, they had been in the water for about 30 minutes when he felt a sharp pain in his left foot.

“When I saw it I was screaming as loud as I could to get their attention,” Stuart said.
