An Australian woman was bitten in the face by a shark while diving last week and had her teeth surgically removed following the attack.
Bridgette O’Shannessy, 32, was mauled by a pointer shark on Friday while freediving at a reef in Adelaide.
He was swimming with his diving partner Brian Gordon Peters when the beast struck, Perth Now reports.
Peters managed to push the animal away from him and then began applying pressure to the wound, the outlet reported.
O’Shannessy was placed in a lifeboat and brought back to shore, according to 9 News.
Ray Tomlinson, an off-duty lifeguard, was on the beach when he heard Peters screaming for help after the attack.
“I basically went to help get the craft to shore and secure it, at which point I realized there was a patient in the boat,” Tomlinson told 9 News. “He has been applying pressure for quite a long time and the patient has not experienced any pressure.”

O’Shannessy underwent two operations at Flinders Medical Centre, during which he had to remove several teeth from his skull.
The diver, a university student, suffered nerve damage and other injuries, according to local outlets.

He is still in hospital recovering.
