A teenage boy was bitten twice by a shark Friday in the Sandbridge section of Virginia Beach.
18-year-old Caleb Kauchak says the shark grabbed his ankle and he felt it thrashing. Kauchak jumped on his surf board to escape and says he was bitten again on the knee.
Rescue crews say Kauchak was attacked by a shark, but officials aren't sure what kind of shark was involved. He now has 51 stitches.
The Virginia Beach Department of Emergency Medical Services said this is the first time in many years that an incident like this has happened.
