A Japanese was killed Monday after a shark tore off his legs while he was surfing off Australia’s east coast, not far from the area where another surfer was hurt by a shark a day earlier, officials said.

The 41-year-old man was sitting on his board waiting for a wave when the shark came up behind him and grabbed the back of the board and the man’s legs in its mouth. The man’s friends, who had been surfing alongside him, rushed him to shore, where they tried to stop the bleeding.

“But because both legs were gone, he bled to death very quickly,” Wright said.

Shelly Beach, the site of the attack, was closed, along with a larger stretch of coastline as officials searched for the shark.

Sharks are common off Australia's beaches, but fatal attacks are rare; the country has averaged fewer than two deadly attacks per year in recent decades.
