Shark Bit Her And Tried To Pull Her Under In Mexico: Orangeville Nurse

A Canadian nurse says the shark that attacked her in Mexico tried to pull her under the water.

Speaking for the first time about her ordeal off Cancun on Monday, Nicole Moore, 38, says the shark bit down on her arm “pretty good.”

Moore tells radio station CKLW in Windsor, Ont., she was in shallow water when some men nearby started yelling at her.

She says she felt a bump, then a bite on her left thigh, and knew right away it was a shark.

The married mother of two from Orangeville, Ont., who was misidentified in some earlier reports as Nicole Ross, says she grabbed the shark’s nose and started running to try to get out of the water.

She is currently recovering in a Mexican hospital from serious injuries to her upper thigh, lower leg and her left arm.
