A woman has been seriously injured by a shark in New York. The animal bit the 50-year-old on Rockaway Beach in the leg, according to the responsible authorities. It is said to be the area’s first shark attack in decades.
This comes from different databases. The incident happened Monday afternoon (local time) in the Queens borough. The woman was taken to hospital but her condition is stable, police said. As a precaution, the beach was initially closed for a day on Tuesday. Firefighters and police searched the sea for sharks from the air.
In recent years, more sharks have been sighted in the Atlantic Ocean around the New York metropolis and the offshore island of Long Island. This is partly because the water quality has improved. Attacks were still the exception.
