NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A surfer dangling his feet into the Atlantic Ocean on Florida's east coast was bitten by a shark, authorities said.
The 18-year-old man was surfing in water up to 8 feet deep near the New Smyrna Beach jetty Saturday when the shark swam up and bit him, said Scott Petersohn, spokesman for the Volusia County Beach Patrol.
"This was a case of mistaken identity," Petersohn told the Daytona Beach News-Journal. "The guy's foot dangling in the water looks a lot like a fish."
