A shark bit a 16-year-old boy from Oak Ridge off the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Thursday, according to Nationanl Park Services.
Officials said he was jumping over waves on a sandbar about 25 feet offshore.
Cape Hatteras officials said the apparent bite happened near Ramp 25, an off-road vehicle ramp south of the village of Salvo. A Seashore Law Enforcement Ranger drove the boy to the hospital in Nags Head where he was treated and released.
