New Delhi: In a rare case, a 23-year-old woman bitten by a shark in Boca Raton, Florida, was taken to the hospital on Sunday with the animal still attached to her arm, CBS affiliate WPEC reported.

A spokesperson for the Boca Raton Ocean Rescue told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that the woman remained calm and there was a little blood. A splint board was used to support the woman's arm and the shark as she lay on the stretcher.
