A man has been treated for a shark bite on the Gold Coast.
The man emerged from the surf at Nobby Beach about 5pm (AEST) on Tuesday with a gash to his leg, the Department of Community Safety says.
The Nine Network reports the victim, 20-year-old student Billy O'Leary, was bitten by a bull shark on his daily surf.
He saw the shark swim away, returned to shore and called for help, it was reported.
The man was stable and conscious, even giving a thumbs up to television cameras as ambulance officers treated the wound.
He has been taken to Gold Coast Hospital.
