A shocking video captured the last moments of a man swimming in Egypt’s Red Sea as a vicious shark attack unfolded in front of horrified onlookers.
The clip, which we’ve chosen not to show, began circulating online Thursday from the resort city of Hurghada. You can see a man treading water, as a shark continues to attack him … biting him several times. At one point, the shark pulls the man upside down, forcing both of his legs above the surface in a headstand formation.
The woman recording can do nothing but gasp, as the man screams out in pain for help.
Finally, in what appears to be one final strike … the shark pounces on the man’s upper torso and forces him under the surface.
A statement from The Ministry of Environment stated it’s believed the attack was from a tiger shark, and the man died from his injuries.
As a result of the attack, a massive stretch of the beach has been closed until at least Sunday.
