State parks officials say a 20-year-old woman was likely bitten by a juvenile shark at a suburban New York beach.

A 20-year-old woman was swimming in waist-deep water at a popular beach in Long Island, New York, when officials believe she was most likely bitten by a young sand tiger shark earlier this week.

Experts have narrowed down the shark species likely responsible for biting a woman at New York’s Jones Beach State Park last week, leading to a temporary beach closure.
