\n

Rescue officials said the incident happened far from the shoreline and was not connected to beach activity.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The U.S. Coast Guard said crews received the call Monday afternoon, after the teen was bitten while aboard a boat roughly 2 hours offshore with his father and another person.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Authorities said the boy’s father acted quickly, applying a tourniquet to help stop the bleeding immediately after the attack.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

While the group was attempting to return to shore, officials said the boat became disabled in the Gulf, prompting a Coast Guard rescue response.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

When Coast Guard crews arrived, they applied a second tourniquet before bringing the teen back to land, where EMS crews took him to the University of Texas Medical Branch for treatment.<\/p>\n

\n

Authorities have not released details about the teen\u2019s injuries, exactly where he was bitten, or what type of shark was involved.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Galveston Beach Patrol also responded and emphasized that the incident did not happen near the beach.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Authorities did not release updates about the teenager’s condition as of Monday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
