A 19-year-old woman is reported to have been mauled by a 10-foot shark while in the water. Two outlets say the incident involved a great white shark and that the woman suffered serious injuries during the attack.
Both reports describe a bystander, identified as Trevor Burns, who intervenes during the incident. According to the accounts, Burns catches or grabs the shark by its tail, helping to stop the attack and allowing the teenager to survive. The stories focus on the rescuer’s actions as pivotal to the outcome.
While both outlets largely align on the core facts—an attack by a large great white, the teenager’s age, and Burns’s intervention—differences appear mainly in phrasing and emphasis. One headline highlights the rescuer’s “brave act,” while the other frames the event as a near-death rescue. The reports do not provide additional agreed details such as location, time, or medical updates beyond the claim that the woman is saved.
