(CNN) A 16-year-old boy visiting North Carolina's Outer Banks with his family is recovering from injuries suffered when he was attacked by a shark on Thursday. Nick Arthur was jumping over waves on a sandbar about 25 feet offshore when he started screaming, his father told CNN. Nick Arthur was bitten by a shark while swimming along the North Carolina coast on June 18, 2020. "At first I thought he was screaming out of joy, and then I looked at him and saw the shark," Tim Arthur said. The shark had its teeth around Nick's thigh and was not letting go, Arthur said.
