SYDNEY, Sept 6 — A suspected “large shark” mauled a man to death in waters off northern Sydney today, Australian police said, leading to a string of beach closures.<\/p>\n

The man was pulled out of the morning surf onto shore at Long Reef Beach but died at the scene, New South Wales police said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“A man has died on the Northern Beaches after being bitten by what is believed to have been a large shark,” police said.<\/p>\n

Two sections of a surfboard were recovered and taken for forensic examination.<\/p>\n

It was the first fatal shark attack in Sydney since 2022, when 35-year-old British diving instructor Simon Nellist was killed off Little Bay.<\/p>\n

The previous fatal attack in the city was in 1963.<\/p>\n

Following the latest attack, Pacific Ocean beaches between the northern suburbs of Manly and Narrabeen were closed “pending further notice”.<\/p>\n

Police said emergency services rushed to the scene following alerts that the man, who was not identified, had suffered “critical injuries”.<\/p>\n

An unnamed surfer said the victim had been surfing between Long Reef and Dee Why beaches.<\/p>\n

“Four or five surfers pulled him out of the water and it looked like a significant part of his lower half had been attacked,” the surfer said, according to Sydney’s Daily Telegraph.<\/p>\n

People were ordered out of the water, he told the paper.<\/p>\n

“There was a surf lifesaving guy waving a red flag,” the surfer said. “I didn’t know what it was … but thought I should probably go in (to shore).” — AFP<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
