Beach patrol officials say a 15-year-old boy from Atlantic Beach was bit by a shark while surfing in New Smyrna Beach on Saturday.

Officials say the teen surfer was about 75 yards from shore in the jetty area at around 6 p.m. when a shark bit him on the foot.

The teen was taken by ambulance to the hospital for precautionary reasons.

Officials say his injuries are not life-threatening.

We're told this is the second shark bite of the year.
