Shark on beach in NY

Beachgoers kicking off the holiday weekend in Queens, N.Y., Saturday got a little more excitement than they expected when a shark appeared in the surf and swam onto the shore, MyFoxNY.com reported.
Swimmers and sunbathers at Rockaway Beach, N.Y., were enjoying a peaceful day of sun and sand Saturday afternoon when the tell-tale sign of a dorsal fin slicing through the waves sparked a minor panic. The fin belonged to a 7-foot thrasher shark that was caught in the surf, seemingly determined to swim onto the shore instead of back out to sea.
While the shark was a scary and shocking sight in Rockaway, thrashers are actually common off the Atlantic coast and are known to swim toward shore. They are large sharks that can grow to 18 feet long, and Rockaway's shark is believed to be a baby that got caught in fishing lines and freed itself far from home. Thrashers eat only other fish, and no one was injured during the incident.
A beachgoer caught the shark on videotape. Lifeguards helped push the shark back out to sea.
