A swimmer landed in hospital after a shark bit her and refused to let go.
The 23 year old woman had her hand on splint as paramedics took her off to hospital after all efforts were made to get the shark off her hand. The determined died still stuck to the hapless woman.
Beachgoer Shlomo Jacob told the South Florida Sun Sentinel: "The shark wouldn't give up.
"It was barely breathing but it wasn't letting go of her arm, like it was stuck to her or something."
A spokesman for Boca Raton Ocean Rescue said the woman remained calm and there was little blood from the wound.
She was in a stable condition in hospital, according to Boca Raton Fire and Rescue.
Witnesses claimed other swimmers had been "messing" with the shark, the newspaper reported.
Nurse sharks are common along the US East Coast and grow up to 14ft.
Unlike other sharks, they are slow-moving and can remain motionless on the sea bed.
They will bite defensively if stepped on or bothered.
