Laid-back Brit drags Bronze Whaler Shark away from Noosa Beach
A British holidaymaker grabbed a six-foot shark by its tail and dragged it away from a group of toddlers as they played in shallow water off the coast of Queensland. Paul Marshallsea, 62, was praised by the lifeguards after he rushed from a beach-side barbecue to keep the children safe. The encounter was caught by a nearby Channel 9 television crew.
The grandfather said: “Where this shark actually came ashore, it’s shallow for about five or six yards, and a lot of babies and toddlers splash about there. It could have been very nasty.
“My instincts took over and I just grabbed shark by the tail.”
