PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A 17-year-old surfer in New Jersey lost a chunk of
leg flesh in what is likely the state's first attack by a Great White shark
in 30 years, officials said on Wednesday.
New Jersey resident Ryan Horton was about 25 feet off the beach at Surf
City, Long Beach Island early on Sunday afternoon when he felt a sharp pain
in his ankle but didn't see what caused it. After paddling back to shore, he
was taken to a hospital, Surf City Police said in a statement.

Bob Schoelkopf, director of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in
Brigantine, New Jersey said photos of the wound confirmed it could only have
been made by a Great White.

The last recorded shark attack in New Jersey was at Sandy Hook in 1975, the
year of the movie "Jaws," which terrified audiences with tales of Great
White attacks.
