A 10-year-old US boy was bitten by a shark at a resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, authorities have said.

The attack happened on Monday afternoon while the child was “participating in an expedition in a Shark Tank at a local resort”, a news release from the Royal Bahamas Police Force states.

Police did not identify the resort where the attack happened.

The victim was not identified, and police gave no information about the type of shark involved in the attack.

Paradise Island is home to several resorts, including the sprawling Atlantis resort.
