From The Maui News:

A 58-year-old Marina Del Rey, Calif., man may have captured video of the shark that attacked him Tuesday morning off Kaanapali, leaving him hospitalized with two deep lacerations on his right thigh.

The man remained at Maui Memorial Medical Center on Tuesday afternoon and declined requests for interviews, said hospital spokeswoman Carol Clark.

Police recovered a video camera that was attached to the surfboard the man was on when he was attacked, said police Capt. Mollie Klingman, officer in charge of the Lahaina Patrol District.

The video was being held as evidence as police continued to investigate the incident reported at 8:20 a.m. at 106 Kaanapali Shores Place, Klingman said. Read the full story.
