An unnamed 13-year-old boy is in critical condition after he was the victim of a shark attack Saturday morning as he went diving for lobsters.

The incident happened around 7am on the opening day of California's spiny lobster season and people looking for the creatures themselves were horrified to come across the attack at Beacon's Beach in Encinitas, California. 

Chad Hammel told Fox 5 San Diego: 'I realized that he was yelling, "I got bit! I got bit!"'

The man added that the victim's collarbone was the center of the attack and they tried desperately to get him to safety. 

A group applied pressure to the wounds while beach-goers called paramedics, who put the victim in a helicopter to Rady Children's Hospital.

 'His whole clavicle was ripped open,' Hammel continued. 'We told him he's going to be okay, he's going to be alright - we got help. I yelled at everyone to get out of the water: "There's a shark in the water!" 

'Once we threw him up on the kayak and started heading in, that's when I looked back, and the shark was behind the kayak. He didn't want to give up yet.'

The shark is estimated to be approximately 11-feet-long. 

Tim Fairbanks, director of pediatric surgery shared that at the family's request they won't be detailing what treatments were required. 

Dr Chris Lowe from California State University is trying to find out what type of shark caused the injuries. It is estimated to be approximately 11-feet-long

The area was closed for 48 hours from La Costa Avenue to Swami's Beach while an investigation took place with California State Parks, California Fish and Game, San Diego County Sheriff's Department, City of Solana Beach and the City of Carlsbad.

They have begun patrolling the area on boats and using drones to ensure public safety.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
