A 15-year-old boy was attacked by a shark off the coast of Fire Island in the Atlantic Ocean on Monday afternoon, suffering bites to his left heel and toes.
Suffolk County Police Marine Bureau officers responded to the scene at 5:20pm and learned that the victim had swam to shore under his own power, at which point a Good Samaritan provided medical assistance until authorities arrived.
Taken to Good Samaritan University Hospital in West Islip, the surfer’s injuries were deemed not life-threatening; both the heel and the toe “remain intact,” according to. Last year, there were six shark attacks in the span of three weeks in Long Island beach waters, most of them off Fire Island, and the region has thus been on high alert for sharks in 2023.
