A woman was transported to a hospital after suffering an apparent shark bite near a beach in Queens, New York
Emergency personnel responded to the incident at Rockaway Beach shortly before 6 p.m. ET and found the woman had a serious leg injury, the New York City Fire Department said in a statement. “All indications appear to be a shark bite,” the statement said. The woman – who officials have yet to identify – was taken to the Jamaica Hospital Medical Center and was in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries Monday night, the department said.
The five non-life-threatening bites occurred within two days of one another and alarmed New York beachgoers. The spree of attacks also called to mind a similar series of non-fatal shark attacks last summer that triggered several New York beach closures. Gavin Naylor, the director of the Florida Program for Shark Research, told CNN last month that swimmers can take precautions to avoid attacks. “People should always swim in groups.
