Beaches in Sydney’s eastern suburbs are closed after a woman is critically injured in a shark attack off Coogee Beach. Multiple outlets report the incident occurs near the popular swimming area, with emergency services called after members of the public report a shark bite. South China Morning Post and other accounts say the woman is pulled from the water by beachgoers, who begin first aid before paramedics arrive. Police and media reports describe serious injuries to her arms and legs, and say she is being treated after being bitten by a large shark about a short distance from shore. Local outlets also report the timing of the attack occurring in the morning, with at least one account placing it around mid-morning. Authorities respond by closing Coogee Beach and nearby areas to swimmers while they manage public safety concerns. The incident is described in international coverage as part of a wider pattern of shark encounters along Australia’s coast. The woman’s condition and the circumstances leading to the attack are under investigation.
