Josh Green, a student at University of Central Florida, was swimming last week when a shark tore into his leg. Of course, Josh did what any man with a set would do, he punched the shark. UCF Student Punches Shark Green told Knight News, UCF’s college newspaper, “I didn’t realize it was a shark until I punched it, thinking it was someone messing with me and then felt the face.” Although Green got in a punch, the shark got the best of the fight. Green had to get 18 stitches in his foot, ankle, and calf. Green recalls, “When I hit it, my foot was sort of released and I just swam to shore as fast as possible. I limped out over to my friends and they brought me up to the lifeguard.” The lifeguard suspects it was a black tip shark. Whatever it was that he attacked, Green posted pics of his wounds , and they are nasty. He captioned the photos “sharkbait hoo haha.” View Slideshow: Florida Man: Strange Sunshine State Stories
