The woman named Melissa Brunning was on holiday at Dugong Bay in Western Australia.  

When interviewed by Australian news channel 7 News about the incident, she said she sustained cuts, a fracture, a torn ligament, and an infection on her finger from the attack.

Brunning said all she could focus on was her finger and the fact that it was being ‘shredded off’. 

"It happened so quickly, all I could really focus on was the fact that my finger is gone, he’d clamped on it and it felt like it was shredding off the bone," she told 7 News Perth.

She added: "I’ve come up and I’m like, I lost my finger, I couldn’t even look at the finger because I thought it was gone and I thought if I looked at it I would probably go into shock,” She says she learned her lesson from this encounter and will never try to feed a shark again."
