Shark rescued by lifeguard
A LIFEGUARD at New York's Coney Island beach came to the rescue of a two-foot sand shark being attacked by frightened swimmers.
Marisu Mironescu, 39, of Brooklyn, said he saw about 100 people circling the shark off Coney Island's beach.
"Some were hitting him, smacking his face," said Mironescu. "I wasn't going to let them hurt the poor thing."
He grabbed the largely harmless fish in his arms and carried it, backstroking out to sea, where he let it go.
"Then he tried to bite me," said Mironescu.
