Shark attack?
COMPLIED BY N.K.
A man who claimed a shark mauled him as he swam at Australia’s legendary Bondi Beach was allegedly a thief whose injuries were caused when his arm went through a glass window. Scott Wright made global headlines after he told reporters that he was enjoying a night swim off the world-famous Sydney beach when he felt a shark latch on to his arm. Wright told Sydney’s Channel 10 network that he fought off the shark by punching it on the nose, then made his way to sh
ore but passed out on some rocks, where his girlfriend found him, the day after the alleged attack. "I thought I was a goner," he said at the time, displaying deep gouges on his forearm that he said were the result of what was billed as the first shark attack on Bondi beach in 70 years. But the Sydney Morning Herald website, www.smh.com.au, reported that Wright had actually injured himself when his arm went through a glass window several days before the alleged shark attack.
