SYDNEY, Australia (February 12, 4:27 a.m. AST) - Lifeguards at a beach north of Sydney were stunned when a man walked into their post looking for help with a small shark attached to his leg.
Luke Tresoglavic swam 1,000 feet to shore, walked to his car and drove to the local surf club with the two-foot shark biting his leg and refusing to let go.

“I just realized I had to swim in like that, hanging on to it,” Tresoglavic told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio on Wednesday.

Tresoglavic, 22, was snorkeling on a reef off Caves Beach near Newcastle on Tuesday when a wobbegong, or carpet shark, attacked his leg.

“Once I got on to shore, a couple of people tried to help me, but I could not remove it. It was stuck there, so I got up into my car and then drove to the clubhouse, and luckily the guys down there had a clue what to do,” he said.

Lifeguard Michael Jones said he couldn’t believe his eyes when Tresoglavic turned up - shark in tow.
