NEW YORK – A 65-year-old woman was bitten by a shark Monday afternoon at Rockaway Beach, authorities said, in what appeared to be the first confirmed shark bite in New York City waters in decades.
“We hope for a full recovery for this swimmer,” the parks department spokesperson, Meghan Lalor, said in a statement. “Though this was a frightening event, we want to remind New Yorkers that shark bites in Rockaway are extremely rare.” Mr Walters said the biting should not cause people to abandon their beach-going routines, but was a reminder that “our city butts up against the sharks’ home”.
The biting Monday was the first confirmed attack in New York City since the 1950s, according to the Global Shark Attack File, an unofficial database of such encounters. The last documented shark bite in the city listed in the database was in 1958, when a man was bitten by a harpooned shark after provoking it.
“We can expect that as the ecosystem recovers that we’re going to see a bit more of that,” he said, adding that people should learn more about the increased risks of being in the water.
