A teenager has died after being attacked by a shark on Australia’s east coast, just one week after a surfer was fatally mauled in Western Australia.<\/h1>\n

New South Wales police were called to a popular surf beach near Coffs Harbour, about 280 miles north of Sydney, after reports of the attack.<\/p>\n

“A man, believed to be aged 18, was bodyboarding with friends around 100 metres offshore when he was bitten on the legs by what is believed to be a shark,” police said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“His friends managed to get him to the beach where he was treated by paramedics. He was pronounced dead a short time later.”<\/p>\n

An ambulance spokeswoman said the victim had severe leg injuries, but he is understood to have died from a traumatic cardiac arrest following the attack.<\/p>\n

Police said the boy had been sitting upright on his boogie board off the secluded Riecks Point when he was bitten on both legs.<\/p>\n

“A struggle has taken place and he has managed to break free,” Coffs Harbour police inspector Joanne Reid<\/p>\n

“It has taken a bit of time to get him to shore and he lost a fair amount of blood on the way.”<\/p>\n

She commended his friends for going to his aid and bringing him to shore.<\/p>\n

“It’s just a tragic, tragic incident,” she said.<\/p>\n

Locals said the sharks were rarely seen in the area and incident had shocked the community.<\/p>\n

The death comes a week after a 35-year-old surfer was killed by a shark near Gracetown, about 160 miles south of the Western Australian capital of Perth.<\/p>\n

Sharks are common in Australian waters, but deadly attacks are rare, with only one of the average 15 incidents a year typically proving fatal.<\/p>\n

Until last week there had not been a fatality since July 2012 when a surfer was bitten in half off the coast of Western Australia, capping an unprecedented spate of five deadly attacks by the marine predators that sparked calls in that state for a cull.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist!
