The man was attacked at Point Plomer Beach, north of Port Macquarie, this morning.

A Mid North Coast Local Health District spokesperson said a 39-year-old man was in a stable condition with minor injuries at Kempsey Hospital.

9news.com.au understands the man self-reported to the hospital.

Spokespeople for NSW Ambulance and NSW Police confirmed no emergency services were called.

A shark had been spotted at the beach at 10.08am, according to SharkSmart.

Beaches between Town Breach and Crescent Head have been closed.

It’s the fourth shark attack in NSW waters in the past 48 hours.

An attack yesterday evening at Manly put a surfer in the hospital in a critical condition.

Earlier that day, an 11-year-old boy had a narrow escape at Dee Why when a shark took a bite out of his board.

And on Sunday afternoon, a 12-year-old boy was critically injured in the water at Vaucluse.

Swimmers at still-open beaches have been advised to stay away and avoid murky and low-visibility water.

The NSW Department of Primary Industries say bull sharks are known to frequent Sydney Harbour, especially during the year’s warmer months, and can be found in shallow waterways.
