A 65-year-old man was mauled by a shark off Australia’s most populous state, but got back on his surf ski despite a serious leg injury, police said.

A surfer was seriously injured as he repeatedly punched a shark that mauled him off the Australian east coast, less than a week after a fatal attack, police and a witness said.
