Shark Attack off New Jersey Shore

Ryan Horton, 17, may have been bitten by a small Great White Shark this past Sunday. The surfer who was 25 feet from shore said he never saw what bit him, but felt like someone had suddenly taken a baseball bat to his ankle.

Horton said he figured the shark bit him because maybe the teen had landed in his territory.

Horton's mother emailed a photo to a shark expert in Florida who identified three teeth marks in the wound which exposed Horton's bone. The teen received 50 stitches.

This is the first shark attack reported on the Jersey Shore in 30 years.
