A Welsh holidaymaker has been hailed a hero for wrestling a shark that was swimming towards children on a beach in Queensland, Australia.

Paul Marshallsea, 62, from Merthyr Tydfil, grabbed the two-metre long shark by the tail on Bulcock Beach and dragged it out to deeper water.

Update.

A charity worker has been sacked after his bosses saw footage of him wrestling a shark in Australia while he was on sick leave for stress.

Lol, he should have let the shark eat the kids!

Wonder what his bosses would have said if he hadn't helped? "You were there but did nothing to prevent the kids from being eaten... you're fired!!'.

Looks like a lose lose situation.
