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 bitten by a shark, believed to be a juvenile sand tiger, while swimming at Jones Beach State Park in Long Island, New York. The incident led to a temporary suspension of swimming and heightened patrols by officials.
