Endnu et hajangreb blev rapporteret i onsdags udfor kysten af North Carolina, ifølge embedsmænd. Hajangrebet fandt sted ved Ocracoke Island i Outer Banks, ifølge Hyde County EMS. En livredder kaldte 911, ifølge en ansat fra nødhjælpen. Ofret blev taget ud af vandet og fløjet til et nærliggende hospital. Der er ingen information om ofrets tilstand.

Hyde County tweeted en udtalelse, sigende at "en person som svømmede ved NPS området som er åbent om dagen på Ocracoke pådrog sig et bid fra et havdyr" og at tilfældet er blevet efterforsket. Onsdagens angreb markerer det syvende tilfælde på North Carolinas strande i Juni og Juli. Sidste år var det kun fire rapporterede tilfælde i staten i løbet af hele sommeren.

I sidste uge, blev to mennesker bidt af hajer tæt ved Cape Hatteras.
