A 64-year-old British tourist<\/a> has lost his arm and leg after being mauled by a bull shark on the southeastern Caribbean island of Tobago.<\/p>\n

According to Tobago House of Assembly (THA) Chief Secretary Farley Augustine, Peter Smith was in waist-deep water when the attack happened near the Starfish Resort in Courland Bay, a popular tourist destination in Tobago.<\/p>\n

Augustine said the bull shark<\/a> was approximately 8 to 10 feet long, and 2 feet wide.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s lucky to be alive,” fellow tourist Stephanie Wright told The Mirror. “I saw a dorsal fin come out of the water and thought, \u2018\u2019Oh my God, it\u2019s a shark.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Augustine said that the attack happened just 30 feet from the shore on Friday, April 26, at 9:15 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials said that<\/a> the tourist was hospitalized in an intensive care unit following the attack.<\/p>\n

He said the victim\u2019s left hand had been severed from the elbow down, his left thigh was also severed, and he also received lacerations to his stomach.<\/p>\n

Photos from the Chief Secretary’s office showed graphic images of Smith’s severe shark bites<\/a> along his body.<\/p>\n

The Chief Secretary said that he had spoken to the British High Commissioner and the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard and the agencies were closely monitoring the area.<\/p>\n

“Currently, we are doing drone reconnaissance\/surveillance, Coast Guard surveillance<\/a>, and the Department of Fisheries is combing the area to ensure safety,” Augustine said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shark attacks are rare. Last year, there were 69 unprovoked attacks and 22 provoked bites worldwide, along with 14 fatalities, according to the Florida-based International Shark Attack File.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
