Another Shark Bite Along Central Florida Coast

11:35 p.m. EDT April 20, 2003

There were two more shark bites off the Central Florida coast over the weekend.

One was a 30-year-old surfer from Orlando whose foot was bitten while he was swimming at Playlinda Beach in Brevard County on Sunday. He was taken to a local hospital where he's in stable condition.

The other was also Sunday, near the Sun Glow Pier in Daytona Beach Shores.

The man was bitten on the foot before he managed to get away. Witnesses say they first knew about the bite when they heard screams. The swimmer was treated at Halifax, then released. He's expected to be okay.

It's the fifth bite off the Central Florida coast in less than a week.
