A lifeguard was reportedly bitten in the chest and hand by a shark Sunday morning, leading officials to close Smith Point and Cupsogue beaches to swimmers.
Smith Point and Cupsogue Beach have had swimming suspended after the lifeguard was reportedly bitten Sunday morning.
The lifeguard, identified as Zach Gallo, had been playing the role of a victim during a training exercise when the shark bit him in the chest and hand, Bellone told an afternoon news conference. "If you're going to have an encounter with a shark this is probably the best scenario you could have," Bellone said, adding the lifeguard received immediate treatment from other officials already engaged in the training. "We have never had an incident like this occur. Hopefully we never will again."
