Shark attack on 15 year old girl at Robert Moses State Park Fire Island New York shark attack in July

Police said the 15-year-old boy was surfing when at about 5:20 p.m. a shark bit him on his left foot.

Earlier in the day, a 15-year-old girl was treated after suffering three small puncture wounds on her left leg at Robert Moses State Park, which borders Kismet Beach to the west.

A spokesperson for New York State Parks said emergency medical technicians (EMTs) at Robert Moses released the teenager to her parents, adding it is unknown what type of marine life was responsible for the bites.

Officials at the park deployed a drone immediately after the incident, though they were not able to detect any dangerous marine life.
