Beaches in Del Mar are closed to swimmers and surfers after a shark bit a swimmer Sunday morning.
The shark encountered a 46-year-old man at 9 a.m. on Sunday, about 100 yards offshore from the Beach Safety Center at 17th Street, according to a news release from the city. The shark bit the man's torso, left arm and hand.
An ambulance took the victim to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla. His injuries are significant, but not life-threatening, according to the city.
The man was part of a group of about a dozen swimmers who regularly train in Del Mar, the city said.
