    A man was bitten by a shark while he was spearfishing on a reef off Key West Monday afternoon, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.

    The bite happened around 3:40 p.m., said Adam Linhardt, spokesman for the sheriff’s office.

    The victim was brought to shore on Stock Island. From there, Monroe County Fire Rescue paramedics flew him by helicopter ambulance to a hospital in Miami-Dade County, Linhardt said.

    “The victim reportedly was alert and responsive at the time of the airlift,” Linhardt said in a statement. “His immediate condition was not clear at the time of this release.”

    This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
