Australian grandmother beats off attacking shark

An Australian grandmother has survived a shark attack by repeatedly punching and kicking the animal.

 

Paddy Trumball, 60, suffered several deep bite wounds and lost a huge amount of blood in the incident.

 

She was snorkelling near the Whitsunday Islands off the coast of Queensland in eastern Australia when the attack happened.

 

Doctors say Mrs Trumball is fortunate to be alive after suffering such a ferocious mauling.

Her nightmare began when she came face-to-face with the shark.

 

Mrs Trumball suffered deep bites, but fighting for her life she repeatedly punched the one-and-a-half metre (5ft) predator on the nose.

 

With the aqua blue water heavily stained with blood, the shark dragged the woman under the surface, where she began kicking at its neck.

 

She was then pulled aboard a sightseeing boat.

 

Doctors have been amazed that this feisty grandmother from Sydney managed to survive the attack, in which she lost more than three pints (1.5 litres) of blood.
