A 10-year-old boy from Maryland was hospitalized after being attacked by a shark while participating in a "shark tank" exhibition at a local resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, according to police reports.

The incident occurred on Monday, with the boy sustaining injuries to his right leg from the shark attack. Authorities have not disclosed the name of the resort, but it is known that Atlantis Paradise Island offers shark experiences as part of its offerings.

The boy, who remains unidentified, was immediately taken to the hospital for treatment following the attack. As of now, there have been no further details provided on his condition or the extent of his injuries.

Authorities are conducting an investigation into the incident, and the resort has yet to respond to requests for comment regarding the incident. It is unclear whether any security measures were in place during the "shark tank" exhibition.

Shark attacks are rare but can have severe consequences. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential risks associated with close encounters with wild animals, regardless of the precautions taken.

Further updates on the boy's condition and any additional information regarding the incident will be reported as the investigation progresses.
