SYDNEY (AP) — A surfer was seriously injured as he fought a shark off the Australian east coast on Friday, less than a week after a fatal attack, police said. The 52-year-old man sustained significant wounds to his left leg and hand in the dawn attack at Evans Head, 550 kilometers (340 miles) north of Sydney, Detective Inspector Cameron Lindsay said. The victim, whose name has not been released, was taken by ambulance to Lismore Base Hospital in serious but stable condition, police said. Recreational diver Damian Johnson, 46, became the second victim of a fatal shark attack in Australia this year when he was mauled on Saturday off the island state of Tasmania.
