Second Australia shark attack_ Australian surfer fights for his life after second East Coast shark attack this month
An Australian surfer nearly bled to death after he was savaged by a shark and forced to paddle himself back to shore, screaming for help, as blood streamed out behind him.

Father-of-one Glen 'Lennie' Folkard, 44, was last night fighting for his life after suffering massive blood loss from the attack.
He was surfing at Redhead Beach, near Newcastle, 100 miles north of Sydney, when the shark - believed to be a young great white or an equally aggressive bull shark - attacked him.
Attack: The surfer could have been bitten by a Bull Shark as he was surfing at Redhead Beach, near Newcastle, 100 miles north of Sydney
It gouged him in the thigh and took a big chunk out of his surfboard
- even though the beach is believed to have a protective net near it.
But Mr Folkard, a well known tattoo artist, managed to grab hold of his surfboard and paddle towards the shore, crying out 'I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble'.
Blood surrounded him as other surfers came to his rescue and carried him onto the shore. He was rushed to John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle in a critical condition.
One witness, who identified himself only as Peter, said the attack scene was like something out of the movie Jaws.
He said: 'My son actually said he saw the shark leap out of the water and grab a fish before the attack.
'The man's skin was really grey. He obviously lost quite a lot of blood.
'It was kind of like Jaws, you know, the scene at the start where everybody's pulled out of the water and it's a hot day and the water's inviting.'
