A WOMAN is fighting for her life after she was bitten on the head by a shark in a savage attack.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old suffered "extremely serious head injuries" and was rushed to hospital after being rescued from the sea off Adelaide, Australia.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
She was reportedly diving at a reef when she was attacked by the shark.<\/p>\n
Dramatic footage shows beachgoers and paramedics scrambling on the beach after the vicious mauling, near the Port Noarlunga Jetty.<\/p>\n
Bystanders can be seen holding up plastic sheets as they help protect the woman's privacy as she laid stricken in pain.<\/p>\n
The video goes on to show people looking on in shock just after the attack.<\/p>\n
The South Australian Ambulance service were first on the scene after getting horror reports of a shark biting a woman\u2019s face.<\/p>\n Other images show people frantically leaving the water and walking alongside the woman who was put on an emergency lifeboat and taken away from the busy beach.<\/p>\n Emergency services rushed to the Adelaide beach after the terrifying event and found the woman conscious and breathing but with severe facial injuries.<\/p>\n A woman spoke to The Advertiser about what happened.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n After hearing screams, the woman looked up and saw a gruesome trail of blood along the beach.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cI looked up to see this women basically wrapped in tarp \u2026 there was blood on the side of her head.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen they brought her up to the ambulance, you could see there was a lot of blood. No one knew it was a shark attack.\u201d<\/p>\n In a statement, police say the dangerous beast wasn't found even after the beach was evacuated.<\/p>\n It read: \u201cPolice with the assistance of other emergency services evacuated the water while a search to locate the shark was undertaken.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMembers of the public have since returned to the water after the search failed to locate the shark.\u201d<\/p>\n The woman was taken to Flinders Medical Centre for further treatment.<\/p>\n It comes just over a week after a 55-year-old South Australian surfer named Tod Gendle was fatally killed by a great white at a beach near Streaky Bay.<\/p>\n That was the second death in South Austarlia this year after Simon Baccanello, 46, a teacher was killed by a shark near Elliston.<\/p>\n Earlier this month a woman was mauled by a great white shark twice in a gruesome attack in front of horrified beachgoers.<\/p>\n Terrified onlookers rushed to the water to drag her to safety as the victim screamed for help.<\/p>\n<\/picture>TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN <\/span><\/p>\n
