A man on holiday in the Bahamas was bitten by a shark while swimming in the sea, with his wife initially unaware of the danger and telling him to stop "fooling around" as he thrashed in the water. She only realised something was seriously wrong once she saw the injuries he had sustained from the attack.

The incident occurred during what was meant to be a routine swim, with sharks known to frequent the waters around the Bahamas. The man, named as John Schweizer, suffered injuries to his body as a result of the bite; further details of the medical response and his condition following the attack were not specified in the report.
