JAKARTA - Shark bit a 14-year-old boy's leg on the North Carolina coast. Beach visitors immediately took action to help the teenager before the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrived. The attack took place at around 12 p.m. on Sunday, June 23. The victim is recovering. North Topsail Beach Police Chief William Younginer said at the time of the incident the beach visitors immediately reacted. They took the boy out of the water and used a towel and pressure to slow the bleeding. "Officers and emergency medical technicians are already on the beach responding to another call, so the response time is about two minutes," Younginer said. A police officer used a touriquet and EMS stabilized the teenager before he was taken to the nearest trauma center, the Camp Lejune Naval Hospital, Younginer said. The doctor managed to repair the boy's leg and he is expected to recover soon, according to Younginer. Also on Sunday, a surfer and famous coast guard were killed in a shark attack near Oahu's North Coast, Hawaii, emergency officials said.

Tamayo Perry, 49, has been a coast guard at the Honolulu Ocean Safety since 2016. He is a local surfing coach and has competed for years on the Pipeline Master Trials, according to his official biography on his training site. Perry appeared in 2002's "Blue Crush" film, along with episodes of "Hawaii Five-O" and "The Bridge", according to IMDb.
