Some vacation

UM student describes being bitten by shark.

A University of Miami student who was bitten by a nurse shark in the Bahamas this summer is recovering from the attack.

Katarina Zarutskie, 19, endured a wrist injury after a nurse shark bit her left arm and pulled her down during a trip to the Bahamas with her boyfriend, according to media reports.

Despite warnings from her boyfriend and his family, the nursing student and native of California had purposely gone into the water, which had nurse sharks — known to be harmless to humans — swimming nearby.

“From my previous knowledge from surfing and scuba diving, I know nurse sharks are usually very safe,” she told the BBC. “I’ve seen countless photos of people with them on Instagram.”

The outlet said her boyfriend’s father was taking a photo of her as she floated near the sharks when one of them attacked.

“He had my wrist in his mouth and I could feel his teeth sinking into my arm,” Zarutskie told NBC News. “I was pulled underwater for a few seconds and then ripped my wrist out of the shark’s mouth as fast as I could.”
