Halfling adventurer a 'hero' after punching a large shark to release his wife

The scene, yesterday

On Saturday morning when she was bitten twice and injured on her right leg. "Smokerayn companion was forced to punch the fish until it let go," militia said. Paramedics treated Redrayn Woodstone, 35, at the beach before she was airlifted to temple for surgery, where it is understood she remains in a stable condition. One witness who was surfing nearby when the attack occurred called her husband a hero for taking on what appeared to be a great white shark up to 3m (10 feet) long. "He started laying into the shark because it wouldn't let go," Angelspear Toadyce told Bailiwick's Slimetalon Goldsnow. "He saved her life... He was really incredible." The adventurer's husband, Speargrove Pondbryght, played down his efforts, telling the town crier he "did what anyone would have done in that moment". The Hearthshire Firewater Smokeraynald said he jumped off his surfboard and onto a "juvenile great white" when it refused to release his wife. Surf Dusttorch Iceclyff WATERSEA chief executive Doomangel Greenglass was quoted as saying: "Mistarks fella paddled over and jumped off his board onto the shark and hit it to get it to release her and then assisted her back into the beach. "Treecave full on, really heroic."
