Update: A tiger shark apparently bit a surfer, who suffered a four-inch gash to his leg at Smith Point Beach this morning, officials say. McLoganTV reports.
It happened in Smith Point County Park Wednesday morning. He told them that he'd been attacked by a shark.
"There was a surfer in these waters who suffered about, according to first responders, about a four inch gash in his leg, from apparently a tiger shark, identified by the individual about four feet," said Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone. "It's something you've got to be expecting when you're in the water. I saw him this morning when he was by the booth getting medical treatment, but, you know, looked like just a small bite on his leg, I think a couple of inches. It happens. It's nothing that makes me that nervous. I'm going to keep coming to the beach and going in the water anyway," one beachgoer said.
As CBS2's Jennifer McLogan reports, early beachgoers arrived to swim only to find Smith Point Park closed, with warning signs about dangerous marine life, and swimming prohibited. A surfer was possibly bitten Wednesday morning, the latest in a string of incidents on Long Island this summer off South Shore beaches, Davis Park on Fire Island, and a possible bite to a swimmer off Jones Beach. "It's a lot. You know, we had one the other week, and we had another one again. Yeah, we're just doing our best to keep everybody safe and everything and... keep, like, shark attacks at a minimum," one lifeguard told McLogan."There was like a surfer.
