Surfer Severely Injured in Shark Attack

Kai McKenzie, a 23-year-old surfer, suffered a severe shark attack at North Shore Beach in Port Macquarie, Australia, resulting in the complete severing of his right leg. Despite the severity of the attack, McKenzie courageously managed to catch a wave back to shore where an off-duty police officer used a dog leash as a tourniquet to save his life. The severed leg later washed ashore and was transported to the hospital along with McKenzie. He was initially treated at Port Macquarie Base Hospital before being airlifted to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle, where doctors hope to reattach the limb. McKenzie is currently in critical but stable condition. A GoFundMe campaign has raised over $100,000 to support his recovery and rehabilitation.
