Horror moment young boy is savaged by a shark as he tried to scramble into boat | The Sun
THIS is the shocking moment a young lad was bitten by a shark as he tried to jump back onto a boat.
Manni Alam, eight, was on a fishing trip with his dad when the beast attacked him off Lady Musgrave Island, Australia.
The youngster had caught a coral trout and popped into the water so he could get a clip to share on TikTok.
Footage shows Manni in the sea holding up the fish before placing it onto the boat.
But just moments into showing off his catch, a shark leaps out of the water ands bit him before he is able to jump back on board.
Family friend Moe Alsayed can be heard crying out as the beast locks its jaws onto Manni's chest.
