DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A 13-year-old girl was bitten on the hand by a shark as she waded in shallow water in the Atlantic Ocean, authorities said.
Nichole Carlos of Jupiter suffered a cut on the back of her left hand and had bite marks near her wrist, emergency workers said. She was attacked while wading in waist-deep water Wednesday evening.
The teenager was taken to Halifax Medical Center, where she was in stable condition early Thursday, hospital officials said. Authorities said she had lost some blood.
