Surfer Loses Leg in Great White Shark Attack

Kai McKenzie, a 23-year-old surfer, survived a shark attack at North Shore Beach in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, on Tuesday morning. After fighting off a three-meter great white shark that severed his right leg, McKenzie managed to catch a wave back to shore. An off-duty police officer used a dog leash as a tourniquet to stem the bleeding, which was crucial in saving McKenzie's life. The severed leg washed up onshore shortly after and was placed on ice before being airlifted with McKenzie to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle. Surgeons are now working to reattach the limb, with McKenzie remaining in a serious but stable condition. The local community has rallied around McKenzie, raising over AU$100,000 for his medical and rehabilitation costs.
