Man survives gruesome shark attack by punching beast 'several times

The 31-year-old suffered severe wounds after being attacked off the coast of Queensland

A man survived a gruesome shark attack by punching the beast several times.

The 31-year-old suffered severe wounds to his arms and legs in the attack while swimming in the sea off the coast of northeast Australia today.

The spear fisherman survived by punching the deadly predator off Miall Island near Rosslyn Bay, 670km north of Brisbane in Queensland, local coast guard commander Arthur Hunt said.

He was snorkeling a bit off the beach and said he saw a lot of fish and then the shark came out of nowhere.

"It’s the first shark attack we’ve had up here in a while – I’ve been [with the coastguard for seven years and this is my first.

The coastguard rescued the man from the water and took him back to the beach, where they were met by an ambulance.
