Summary
Shannon Dunn paddled into bloodied water at Glenfield Beach after seeing Mel Ismail, 56, wave for help, then dragged him to shore and drove him to a waiting ambulance.
Ismail had been surfing alone when a shark bit his leg and his board, severing his foot and leaving him with serious injuries.
Teenagers on the beach used surfboard rope to make a tourniquet, helping keep Ismail alive before he reached Geraldton Health Campus.
Doctors said Ismail is stable but faces a long recovery, while authorities investigate the attack and have urged extra caution after temporarily closing part of the beach.
