> A Malaysian woman was left with gashes on her wrist after being bitten by a shark during a trip to the Maldives, China Press also reported.

The woman, who shared her experience on social media Xiaohongshu, said she joined a shark viewing tour at Maafushivaru Island.

She wrote that the tour operators assured her that the sharks would not bite and even offered to take a video of her swimming with sharks, for a fee.

“The accident happened during filming when I was floating on the surface where nurse sharks were swimming around me. Suddenly, I felt as if something had bitten me,” she said.

After the video had been taken, the woman was shocked to find her left hand bleeding profusely.

She was rushed back to shore and taken to a clinic to receive treatment.
