Boy 'bitten by shark' in Benidorm

  

Holidaymakers in Benidorm, one of the most popular Spanish resorts for British tourists, fled a packed beach after a young boy is believed to have been attacked by a large fish - possibly a shark.

The fish was described as being greyish-green and estimates of its length varied between two and seven feet.

Although there are sharks in the area, shark attacks off the Spanish coast are rare with the main danger to bathers being jellyfish.
