A Miami-Dade man bitten by a bull shark Wednesday morning is expected to undergo surgery to repair his lacerated arm.
The attack occurred while the man was spearfishing near Elliott Key and snagged a barracuda. A nearby bull shark lunged for the fish and ended up biting the man.
The injury is not life-threatening, said Bethany Rundell, a South Miami Hospital spokeswoman.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue met the victim, who was rushed to the Matheson Hammock Marina about 10:40 a.m., said fire spokeswoman Cristina Armand.
