A MAN has escaped with just a bite to his leg after a close encounter with a hammerhead shark near Dampier at the weekend.
News of the 26-year-old man's great escape has only emerged this morning, after the attack on Saturday about 20 nautical miles north of Dampier, which is situated more than 1500km north of Perth.
Police say the man, from Karratha, was free diving near Legendre Island about 10am on Saturday when he was bitten by the shark, believed to be a hammerhead.
"He was on the surface when he was bitten by a shark on the calf," a police spokesman said.
"He made his way back to land and was conveyed to hospital by friends."
It's understood the young man was initially treated at Nickol Bay Hospital in Karratha for non life-threatening injuries.
PerthNow understands he was later transferred to Royal Perth Hosptial by the Royal Flying Doctors Service and he has since been released.
