Face to face: "I'm not the victim of an attack, but a woman who punched a predator in the head".

A 34-year-old woman from Sydney, Leah Stewart, survived an attack by a large white shark while swimming at Coogee Beach in June. The incident resulted in severe injuries, including the loss of her left arm due to extensive tissue damage. During the attack, she described fighting back against the shark, hitting it repeatedly with her fist. She recounted the terrifying experience of facing the predator head-on, describing the moment when the shark was just 30 centimeters away from her face. Despite being in life-threatening danger, she remained determined to survive, thinking of her daughter and refusing to give up. After being rescued by other swimmers, she underwent nearly ten operations and was placed in an induced coma. Stewart now wants to be remembered not as a victim of the shark attack but as the woman who fought back against the predator.

The Woman Who Boxed a Shark in the Head and Survived

A 34-year-old woman from Sydney named Leah Stewart survived an attack by a sea lion after being dragged into the water at Coogee Beach. The incident occurred in June when the sea lion bit her on the leg and hands, causing significant blood loss and requiring the amputation of her left arm. According to her account, she fought back by striking the animal multiple times, describing the experience as battling a dinosaur. She was hospitalized and placed in artificial coma following several operations but has since recovered and now lives a normal life. She hopes to be remembered as the woman who 'boxed' the sea lion in the face.
