An 18-year-old man suffered a shark bite Wednesday in New Smyrna Beach, officials said.

The man, who is from Ormond Beach, was surfing near Ponce de Leon Inlet. He was coming to the shore when the bite happened, said Capt. Tammy Marris, of Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue.

The man suffered minor lacerations to the foot and didn't see the shark.

He was treated at the scene and then released, Marris said.
