Shark attack at Deep Sea World

AN INVESTIGATION is under way after a 23-year-old aquarium employee was bitten by a shark while at work.

An ambulance was sent to Deep Sea World in North Queensferry, Fife, after staff called about the injury at 2.45pm on Saturday.

The Scottish Ambulance Service said the man had between 15 and 20 puncture wounds on his arm after being bitten by an angel shark, but he did not need to go to hospital.

Deep Sea World said a full investigation was being carried out.

Angel sharks are around one-and-a-half metres long.
