A shark attack at a South Florida beach left a man hospitalized on Tuesday, authorities said.

The attack happened around 3 p.m. near the 4100 block of Ocean Drive at Hollywood Beach, WTVJ-TV reported, citing Hollywood Fire Rescue.

When the units arrived, they found a man with an injury to his upper body. They quickly applied a tourniquet and transported him to a nearby hospital, according to Chai Kauffman, the spokesperson for Hollywood Fire Rescue and Beach Safety.

Officials later confirmed the man suffered a shark bite to his upper arm. His condition has not been released.

Officials have not released the man’s identity or said what type of shark was involved.

Fox News Digital reached out to Hollywood Fire Rescue but did not immediately hear back.

Earlier in the month, a surfer had a different encounter with a shark at New Smyrna Beach in Volusia County, known as the “shark bite capital of the world,” and managed to survive.
