NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. - An Ohio man was bitten by a shark at New Smyrna Beach on Thursday, officials said.

The incident happened around 4 p.m. Thursday near Flagler Avenue.

The 21-year-old was playing football in knee-deep water when the shark bit him on his right foot.

The man suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Just five days ago, a man boating near Fernandina Beach was bitten by a shark, deputies said.

The man was bitten in his right arm and had lost a lot of blood because of the severe bite. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition and is expected to recover.
