An Australian teenager who was attacked by a shark at a Perth beach has spoken about the moment he thought he would die.
Sav Marafioti, 17, was surfing at North Beach when a bronze whaler shark snatched him and dragged him off his board and under the water by his leg rope.
"I felt a nudge and thought it was seaweed, put my leg down and felt it again so put it up, but [the shark] grabbed my leg rope and tried to pull me down," he told 9 News.
The terrified teen urgently called for help.
