A teenage surfer who was bitten by a shark earlier this week in the waters off of New York's Long Island is speaking out. Shark sightings have risen this summer.
"I didn't see anything coming, I felt on my foot, like, a bear trap," Haynes, who suffered an approximate 4-inch laceration to his foot, told FOX 5 New York.
The Suffolk County Police Department said he was able to walk out of the water on his own.
