Boy recovering after being bitten by shark in Hawaii

A 10-year-old boy was recovering from his injuries after being bitten by a shark he said “popped out of nowhere” off an Oahu beach.

The youth told reporters he kicked at the animal to make it go away.

The boy, who was bit at Makaha Beach Park, is doing well and should be out of the hospital soon, said Bruce Anderson with the state Department of Land and Natural Resources.
