A man was hospitalized Tuesday after he was bitten by a shark on Hollywood Beach, according to authorities. Hollywood Fire Rescue officials said they, along with Hallandale Beach Broward Sheriff's Office, responded to the 4100 block of Ocean Drive after reports of an individual suffering a serious injury. The man received medical attention on scene and was taken to a nearby hospital for further treatment. Rescue officials later confirmed the injury to his torso resulted from a shark attack. No additional details were released. The Hollywood incident follows another reported shark bite last week in Volusia County. According to county officials, 18-year-old surf instructor Sam Hollis was bitten on the foot while surfing off New Smyrna Beach, about 60 miles northeast of Orlando. ABC affiliate WFTV reported his injuries are non-life-threatening. "It just grabbed me by my foot and just yanked me off my board and was like, yeah, 'I'm having you for a little snack man.' And then I was like having none of that so I kicked it," Hollis said.
