In New York, for the first time in many years, a shark bit a person. The woman is in serious but stable condition, The New York Times reports. According to media reports, the victim of the attack was 65-year-old Tetyana Koltuniuk. The American edition of the New York Post also writes that the victim is of Ukrainian origin, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still verifying this information, the spokesman of the department Oleg Nikolenko told “VVS Ukraine”. A shark bit a woman on the left leg while she was swimming near Rockaway Beach on 59th Street. The victim was swimming alone, until suddenly the rescuers heard her cries for help. This is the first case of a shark attack on a person in this area in recent decades.

On August 8, her condition was assessed as “serious but stable”, the police said. It was the most serious shark attack in New York waters since at least the 1950s, Florida State University’s Gavin Naylor said in an AP commentary. Judging by the bite mark, it was most likely a young white shark, but it could have been a thresher shark or a sand shark. We will remind, earlier in Kyiv, a petition was created about a monument-fountain to the shark that bit a Russian in Egypt.
