Steven Robles, 40, was bitten by the seven-foot beast around 9.30 a.m. Saturday morning at Manhattan Beach while it was snagged on a fishing line, it panicked and bit the swimmer out of fear while trying to wriggle free.

‘It came from the bottom of the water. It came up to the surface, it looked at me and attacked me right on the side of my chest,’ Robles told KABC. ‘That all happened within two seconds.’

‘I saw the eyes of the shark as I was seeing it swim towards me,’ he continued. ‘It lunged at my chest, and it locked into my chest.’

Robles has been released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
