Man adds shark attack to list of unlucky incidents

A Florida fisherman who has previously survived being hit by lightning, a bite from a rattlesnake, and being punched by monkeys (twice), is back in hospital — after being attacked by a shark.

Erik Norrie, 40, dismisses the fact that is lucky to be alive as he awaits skin graft surgery following the shark attack that left him missing a two-pound chunk of his leg.

Instead, as he laid back in his hospital bed, the father-of-four spoke of how he owes his survival to his strong faith in God.
