British Tourist in Intensive Care After Tobago Shark Attack

MailOnline 28 APR 2024

A British tourist is in a 'critical, but stable' condition with his wife remaining by his side as he recovers in intensive care following a horrific shark attack in the Carribean.

Retired IT worker Peter Smith, 64, from Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, was mauled by a deadly bull shark just hours before he was due to fly home from his holiday on the island of Tobago with his wife Joanna.

The attack happened 10 metres off the shore near the Starfish Hotel in Courland Bay, on the north coast of Tobago, on Friday morning.

The father-of-two sustained injuries to his left hand, left thigh and stomach following the attack involving a bull shark estimated to be eight to 10 feet long and two feet wide, the Tobago House of Assembly said.

Tobago chief secretary Farley Augustine told the PA news agency that Mr Smith was in a 'critical, but stable' condition at Scarborough General Hospital on Saturday after surgery had taken place.

He said the man had been holidaying on the island with his wife and friends and had been due to fly home that day.

Mr Augustine added that the local government was working closely with the British High Commission.

The Foreign Office said it was supporting the family.

Several beaches and coastal areas were closed following the incident.

In the immediate aftermath of the attack, authorities offered a $10,000 (£8,000) bounty to anyone who could capture the shark, but this was later retracted.

Neighbours of Mr Smith on his leafy residential street today described the incident as 'horrific and traumatic' and said there were shocked to find out about the 'tragic' incident on their local WhatsApp group last night.

A friend of the couple, who said Mr Smith was now retired, told MailOnline: 'We know them and we believe they are away on holiday. We don't know about much what's going on, we know he's been very badly hurt [and] there's been a tragic accident.'

The neighbour said that he had lived on the street for 20 years and that the Smiths had been there for 'much of that time'.

He added: 'He's retired but he used to work in IT. He's got a son and daughter who don't live at home now, they've moved away. He's a nice chap, always very friendly.'
