“Hospital, go, it’s really deep guys!” – Dutch biologist and television presenter Freek Vonk undergoes a 3 hour operation and receives over 100 stitches after being bitten by a shark!
Vonk was bitten while diving with reef sharks off the island of Bimini for a new television programme. He was flown by helicopter to Miami for treatment. Reef sharks are friendly and normally pose no danger to humans, Vonk said. ‘But it still went wrong,’ Vonk said on his Facebook page. ‘One of the sharks made a mistake and took a bite at my right arm. I knew immediately something was up.’
