Friends are still reeling from Nico Antic’s sudden pᴀssing, revealing that as he was pulled to shore, he endured the pain to whisper just three haunting words…

A BRAVE friend of a 12-year-old boy who was mauled by a shark in Sydney Harbour has told how he jumped into bloodied waters to save his mate.

Nico Antic was rock jumping with two friends from a six-metre-high ledge at around 4.20pm when he was attacked by what is believed to be a bull shark.
