The 46-year-old man was bitten early Sunday morning off the 100 yards off the shore of Del Mar, California, about 22 miles north of San Diego, according to the city’s website.

A city official said lifeguards witnessed a swimmer helping another swimmer and quickly rushed to help, not realizing it had been a shark attack, according to FOX affiliate KSWB.

The shark managed to bite the man on his torso, left arm, and hand.

He was brought by ambulance to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla where doctors believe the injuries “are significant but not believed to be life threatening.”

Lifeguards have posted signs along the beach, warning swimmers and surfers of the closure reading, “Closure: Shark Incident. Do not Enter” with the date and location.
