A witness told The West Australian a teenager in a dinghy saw the person get attacked and raised the alarm.
‘I’ve actually gone out to meet him at his boat to get more of an account of what’s just going on. He said ”someone’s been done, they’ve taken most of him”.
‘That kid deserves a shout out, he was an avid little boatie, got everyone out.’
Surf Life Saving WA have closed Port Beach, Leighton Beach, and Cottlesloe Beach.
