A 44-year-old man
was swimming towards a beach in Kailua on the island of Oahu
when he was attacked by a shark shortly before noon on Saturday,
the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported. He sustained injuries to
his lower legs.
Later in the day, a 32-year-old was bitten in his left foot as
he swam off a beach in Honolulu, the television station KITV
reported.
Emergency responders initially believed a shark bit the man, but
later said the injuries were more consistent with an eel bite,
KITV reported.
