<p>New South Wales police say they ‘located human remains in the water’ after being called to south-eastern suburbs beach on Wednesday afternoon</p>
<p>A swimmer has died from “catastrophic injuries” after being attacked by a shark off a beach in Sydney’s south-east.</p>
<p>Emergency services were called to Buchan Point in Malabar, off Little Bay Beach, about 4.35pm on Wednesday after reports a swimmer had been attacked by a shark.</p>
<p>Marine police crews and surf lifesavers scoured the scene, according to a New South Wales police statement, and “located human remains in the water”. The death is the first fatal unprovoked shark attack in Sydney since 1963.</p>
<p>A NSW ambulance spokesperson said by the time crews arrived they were unable to help the swimmer. “Unfortunately this person had suffered catastrophic injuries and there was nothing paramedics could do,” they said.</p>
<p>A witness told Guardian Australia the swimmer had been “mauled” by the shark and their blood had coloured the surrounding water red.</p>
<p>Another witness, who had been fishing off nearby rocks at the time, told the ABC the swimmer was wearing a wetsuit and was dragged under the surf by a large shark with the attack lasting several seconds.</p>
<p>“When he went down there were so many splashes,” the man told the ABC. “It was terrible, I am shaking. I keep vomiting, it’s very upsetting.”</p>
<p>Waterloo resident James, 27, arrived at the beach shortly before 5.30pm. Helicopters were circling above the cliffs but people were still swimming.</p>
<p>“Everyone was looking around, trying to work out what was going on,” he said. “There were still people in the water. I’m never getting in again – no way.”</p>
<p>Little Bay Beach was closed as officers continued to search the area. NSW police said they were investigating the death and liaising with the Department of Primary Industries (DPI). A report will be prepared for the coroner.</p>
<p>The mayor of Randwick council, Dylan Parker, said he was “absolutely shocked” by the attack. “Our community adores our coast. To lose someone like this is chilling to the core,” Parker said.</p>
