He was swimming in Staniel Cay, along with his brother, when he was attacked by the shark at around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The RBPF did not specify what injuries the boy sustained, but said he was transported by boat to New Providence, the most populous island in the Bahamas and home to the country&#8217;s capital city of Nassau. He received medical treatment, police said. His condition is stable as of Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Exuma Cays are popular for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving. The waters off Staniel Cay hold coral reefs and shipwrecks, and are home to a range of wildlife including sea turtles, stingrays and sharks. The Royal Bahamas Police Force did not specify what kind of shark bit the boy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Bahamas, a range of over 700 islands, has one of the world&#8217;s highest rates of unprovoked shark attacks.

However, the attacks are still extremely rare: The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu\/shark-attacks\/maps\/world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">database shows just 30<\/a> confirmed, unprovoked shark attacks in the Bahamas over the past 400 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Multiple Americans have been injured by shark attacks in the Bahamas in recent years.
