ITV News:

A surfer’s near-death encounter with a massive shark has been revealed in new pictures that show he was followed by the animal after he failed to return to shore.

Despite drivers tooting on car horns to warn surfers of the three metre white pointer, lone surfer Andy Johnston stayed in the water and was approached by the animal.

The incident happened on West Beach near Esperance, south-east of Perth, Australia on September 21, 2014, but the photos only emerged at the end of October.
