Another Shark Attack Reported On Long Island

QUOGUE, NY — A swimmer was reportedly bitten by a shark in Quogue on July 4, police said.

According to Quogue Village Police, the incident took place at 1:50 p.m. at the Quogue Village Beach on Dune Road. Early reports indicated that the man, 47, was bitten by a shark of "unknown species," police said.

Police responded and requested medical services for the man, who suffered several lacerations to his right knee while swimming in chest-deep water, officials said. A shark was not physically observed, however, "the bite was from a larger marine animal," police said.

The swimmer was transported to Peconic Bay Medical Center by Westhampton War Memorial Ambulance for treatment of non-life threatening injuries, police said.

Police have notified staff at surrounding beaches of marine life activity and are encouraging patrons to stay out of the water until the situation can be further assessed, they said.

Two teens were also bitten, one by a shark, off the coast of Fire Island on Independence Day, according to reports.
