10-year-old American boy bitten by shark at Bahamas resort

 A 10-year-old boy from Maryland was bitten by a shark while participating in an excursion at a resort in the Bahamas, according to police.

The boy’s right leg was attacked by the predator while he took part in a shark tank “expedition” at a local resort on Paradise Island around 4 p.m. Monday, the Royal Bahamas Police Force said.

The child was then taken to a hospital in stable condition to be treated for his injuries.

The victim has not been named and there was no information on the type of shark that bit him.

Police did not identify the resort where the incident happened, but the sprawling Atlantis Paradise Island offers shark encounters on site.

The hotel complex, where room rates start at around $250 per night, offers an hour-long “Walking with Sharks” experience for children 10 and up, which is described as “easy and fun.”

“Using state-of-the-art clear-glass helmets, guests can explore an underwater sea safari as they walk on the bottom of the Mayan Temple Shark Lagoon to see Caribbean reef sharks and nurse sharks up close,” the website reads.

The Post reached out to the resort Tuesday seeking comment.

The investigation into the shark attack is ongoing, police said.
