Teen training to be lifeguard dives onto shark at Florida beach, gets bitten on leg [Video]

A shark bit a 14-year-old when the teen dove into the water and landed on top of the animal, Florida officials said.

It’s the third shark attack in five days in Volusia County, McClatchy News reported.

The Flagler County teen was attending a junior lifeguard training camp during the July 8 incident at a Ponce Inlet beach, according to Volusia County Beach Safety.

At around 11:15 a.m., the boy dove into the water on top of the blacktip shark, which witnesses said was 4 to 5 feet long.

The incident occurred at the beach north of the Ponce Inlet jetty.

The most recent bite comes a few days after two back-to-back attacks in New Smyrna Beach, just south of Ponce Inlet.
