当地官方周三表示，一名12岁美国男孩在巴哈马遭遇鲨鱼袭击后目前情况稳定。
据巴哈马皇家警察部队的一份声明，事件发生时，该男孩正随家人在埃克苏马群岛游览。警方称，周二下午3点30分左右，他和兄弟在斯坦尼尔礁游泳时遭到鲨鱼袭击。
巴哈马皇家警察部队未透露男孩的具体伤情，但表示已乘船将他送往巴哈马人口最多的岛屿新普罗维登斯岛，该岛也是巴哈马首都拿骚的所在地。警方称，男孩已接受治疗，截至周三其病情稳定。
埃克苏马群岛是游泳、浮潜和水肺潜水的热门目的地。斯坦尼尔礁附近海域拥有珊瑚礁和沉船残骸，栖息着包括海龟、黄貂鱼和鲨鱼在内的多种野生动物。巴哈马皇家警察部队未指明袭击男孩的鲨鱼种类。
由700多个岛屿组成的巴哈马，是全球无故鲨鱼袭击事件发生率最高的地区之一。尽管该国国土面积不大，但根据追踪全球人鲨相遇事件的数据库“国际鲨鱼袭击档案”，该国此类袭击事件数量位居全球第九。不过这类袭击仍极为罕见：该数据库显示，过去400年间巴哈马仅记录了30起经证实的无故鲨鱼袭击事件。
近年来已有多名美国人在巴哈马遭遇鲨鱼袭击受伤。2025年2月，两名美国女性在巴哈马最西部的比米尼湾附近游泳时遭到袭击，其中一人伤势严重。
同年8月，一名63岁美国男子在阿巴科岛附近海域捕鱼时遭鲨鱼袭击，身受重伤，随后被空运至美国接受进一步治疗。
2024年1月，一名来自马里兰州的10岁男孩腿部被鲨鱼咬伤并住院治疗。2023年12月，一名波士顿女性在与家人一起划桨板时遭遇鲨鱼袭击，最终不治身亡。

A 12-year-old American boy is in stable condition after being attacked by a shark in the Bahamas, authorities said Wednesday.
The boy was on a tour of the Exuma Cays with his family when the incident occurred, according to a statement from the Royal Bahamas Police Force. He was swimming in Staniel Cay, along with his brother, when he was attacked by the shark at around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, police said.
The RBPF did not specify what injuries the boy sustained, but said he was transported by boat to New Providence, the most populous island in the Bahamas and home to the country’s capital city of Nassau. He received medical treatment, police said. His condition is stable as of Wednesday.
The Exuma Cays are popular for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving. The waters off Staniel Cay hold coral reefs and shipwrecks, and are home to a range of wildlife including sea turtles, stingrays and sharks. The Royal Bahamas Police Force did not specify what kind of shark bit the boy.
The Bahamas, a range of over 700 islands, has one of the world’s highest rates of unprovoked shark attacks. While the country is small, it has the ninth-highest number of such attacks according to the International Shark Attack File, a database that tracks human-shark encounters around the world. However, the attacks are still extremely rare: The database shows just 30 confirmed, unprovoked shark attacks in the Bahamas over the past 400 years.
Multiple Americans have been injured by shark attacks in the Bahamas in recent years. In February 2025, two American women were attacked while swimming off Bimini Bay, in the westernmost part of the Bahamas. One woman was seriously injured.
Later, in August 2025, a 63-year-old American man was severely injured when he was attacked by a shark while spearfishing off the island of Abaco. The man was airlifted to the United States for additional treatment.
In January 2024, a 10-year-old boy from Maryland was bitten on the leg by a shark and hospitalized. A Boston woman died after being attacked by a shark while paddleboarding with a family member in December 2023.
