A WOMAN has died and a man was critically injured after a horror double shark attack in Australia.
The beast mauled them while they were swimming at a remote New South Wales beach early on Thursday.
Cops said the pair, believed to be in their 20s, were in the water at Kylies Beach in Crowdy Bay National Park when they were bitten.
The man was flown to John Hunter Hospital in a critical condition and later improved to serious but stable.
But the woman tragically died at the scene.
Emergency crews were called just after 6.30am.
Authorities praised a bystander who tied a makeshift tourniquet to the man’s leg before help arrived, which they said “potentially saved his life”.
NSW Ambulance Superintendent Josh Smyth said: “The courage from some bystanders is amazing in this situation.
“To put yourself out there is heroic and obviously it did give us time to get to that male patient.”
