A local boy from Friendswood has survived a shark attack that occurred during a family vacation in the Bahamas. The 12-year-old boy was swimming with his older brother when the incident happened, more than 60 miles offshore. The boy's brother was nearby and rushed to his aid.

The attack was severe enough that the boy was able to see his own bone as a result of the bite. Further details about the incident are available from the source, including the events that unfolded after the attack and the current condition of the boy.
