[VIDEO] Chilling Footage Emerges of Child Screaming in Pain When Attacked by Shark at Bahamas Atlantis

A carefree day at the Bahamas' Atlantis Resort took a terrifying turn when a 10-year-old Maryland boy began shrieking in pain after a shark took big bite out of his leg. 

This freak accident occurred during a "swimming with sharks" experience, which is run by a company independent of Atlantis Resorts. According to reports, the boy sustained a shark bite on his right leg and is currently in stable condition.

From TMZ:

Watch ... another family is filming the shark tank and water slide, when suddenly -- they hear screams from the opposite side  ... with people hurriedly surfacing from an underwater experience with nurse and reef sharks.

Shrieks fill the air and folks start calling for help ... and the boy is pulled to the edge of the tank and dragged out of the water. It appears staffers immediately started tending to him.

The shark attack went down Monday, with the Royal Bahamas Police Force saying the boy was bitten on the right leg, and taken to a hospital in stable condition. The extent of his injuries is unknown -- but on its face, it looks and sounds incredibly painful.

The resort's swimming with sharks experience, which is operated by an outside company, has since shut down ... at least temporarily. Makes sense -- ya gotta imagine this might spook folks for a bit.
