A Florida man who was bleeding profusely from a shark bite managed to walk home on Tuesday before being hospitalized.

The 39-year-old man was attacked by a shark in the waters off Siesta Key, Fox 13 reported, citing Sarasota County Fire Rescue and hospital staff.

After returning home, a woman called 911 to report the victim was “bleeding to death” from wounds to his hand and arm.

On the call, the woman can be heard telling the man, who was conscious, that “everything’s going to OK.”

The 911 dispatcher gave the woman directions on how to control the bleeding, the report said.

The shark bite victim was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
