A 15-year-old boy has had his leg bitten off in a shark attack at a West Australian beach.
The boy was body surfing at Wharton beach at Duke of Orleans Bay, east of Esperance, on WA's remote south coast when the attack occurred at about 7.30am (AWST) this morning.

Stephen Luke from St John Ambulance said the boy was taken to hospital with a police escort.
