BULCOCK BEACH, Australia (NBC/APTN) - A grandfather is attracting attention in Australia for wrestling a shark away from beachgoers.

Last Friday the British tourist reportedly spotted a shark in shallow water near the beach. He and another man rushed in to move it away before it reached a couple of kids who were playing in the water nearby.

The grandfather then pushed the shark out toward open water.

Luckily, nobody was injured in the incident.
