SANAS Madeira attended a man in his 50s who was bitten by a seal this afternoon.
The individual was bleeding from a wound on the front of his body and was taken to the Dreams Resort Marina, where he was taken by ambulance to hospital.
It is believed the incident took place in Cais do Sardinha.
Please note these are wild animals and although shy they can become curious or aggressive if they feel threatened.
