A “hero” bystander who rescued a woman mauled by a shark off Sydney’s south has revealed he wasn’t thinking about the lurking shark when he leapt into action, with the potential risk to his own safety trumped by the desperate need to save her. Mangyon “Mani” Zhang, 57, was paddle boarding about 10m from the shore at Gunyah Beach in Bundeena last month when she was mauled by what’s believed to have been a bull shark. Meant to just be a quick paddleboard, Ms Zhang told 60 Minutes she felt as though she’d been stung by something before she got a “very eerie feeling” that something had gone past her. “I was so scared. I said, ‘Oh, what’s that?’” Ms Zhang told the program. Picture: 60 Minutes.
