TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. (WTOC) - A Tybee Island man is out of the hospital and recovering from a shark bite.
Chatham Emergency Services said a swimmer was bitten Tuesday on Tybee Island near 18th and 19th streets.
The swimmer, Yamada Atsushi, was bitten by a small shark and taken to the hospital where he had to get several stitches.
He runs a surf camp and says he’s glad this happened to him and not one of the campers.
The camp will be closed Wednesday while Atsushi meets with a plastic surgeon.
