Woman likely bitten by shark at Jones Beach

Authorities say a woman injured in waters off Jones Beach State Park was likely bitten by a shark. The 20-year-old woman sustained minor lacerations to her left foot and leg.  Biologists, working off photographs of the injuries and witness accounts, determined that the injury was likely caused by a juvenile sand tiger shark. The incident was the first reported encounter with a shark of the Long Island beach season.
