He can be heard swearing in pain when the shark thrashed about, sending him down to the deck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Unable to pry the shark from his body, friends told Mr Maccarty to \u201clie down\u201d while one of them fetched a knife. A decision was made to cut into the shark and \u201cbleed it out\u201d until it let go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cStab him, stab the shark,\u201d a woman shouted off camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cDon\u2019t cut me, don\u2019t bleed him out on me,\u201d Mr Maccarty screamed in response to the hack surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Gruesome video shows blood spurting when one man stabbed the shark, slicing through its body in an attempt to unlock its jaws.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cHit his brain,\u201d one woman insisted. She then joked about the blood ruining her beach towel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">At one point, the shark released its bite on Mr Maccarty\u2019s abdomen \u2014 only to latch on to another part of his body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Eventually, the \u201cpoor little fella\u201d relinquished his grip. Friends then washed the blood off Mr Maccarty to survey the damage to his lower abdomen but he was left with only a small bite mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Mr Maccarty, who had been retrieving lobsters earlier this month when the incident occurred, told Newsflare the shark \u201chit me hard\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cIt knocked the breath out of me so I had to get up for air but I felt the shark biting and trying to tear me open,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cIt wouldn\u2019t let go so I had to hold it tight with both hands so it wouldn\u2019t rip me open and I had to get up for air with the shark pulling me down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cI thought I would drown. I got up and saw the boat had floated away and everyone yelling that the shark had bit me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cNo one knew it was still on me. I had to get to the boat with no hands to swim with. It was a struggle and wore me out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/www.news.com.au\/technology\/science\/animals\/shocking-footage-shows-the-moment-a-shark-clamps-on-to-swimmers-stomach\/news-story\/ea57a8422ac7a9d69bc7d4151b661944<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/world-news\/shocking-footage-shows-the-moment-a-shark-clamps-on-to-swimmers-stomach.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shocking footage shows the moment a shark clamps on to swimmer&#8217;s stomach Shocking footage shows the moment a shark clamps on to swimmer&#8217;s stomach:- CONFRONTING footage shows the moment a US man was left in agony when a shark was cut from his exposed stomach.
