Woman attacked by shark on Sydney Harbor. She was “seriously injured in her right leg,” police said in a statement.

This is the first shark attack in Sydney Harbor since 2009. In February 2002, Simon Nellis, a 35-year-old British diving instructor, was eaten by a shark off Little Bay beach in Sydney. It was the first fatal attack in the city since 1963.. The attack occurred Monday evening off a pontoon in Elizabeth Bay, an area less than two kilometers from the iconic Opera House.
