Coney Island Shark!
The summer of ’07 came to an end on Coney Island yesterday with an only-in-New York fish story: meet the city lifeguard who saved – a shark.
Tender-hearted muscleman Marius Mironescu rescued a 2-foot sand shark from a mob of panicked swimmers, grabbing the wriggling fish in his arms and swimming out to sea with the stunned animal.
“There must have been 75 to 100 people circled around the shark in the water and they were bugging out,” said Mironescu, 39, of Brooklyn.
“They were holding on to it and some people were actually hitting him, smacking his face. Well, I wasn’t going to let them hurt the poor thing,” he said.
He carried the baby shark to a less populated area and started backstroking out to sea, dragging the shark with one hand.

i am glad for this article. last night i was stewing in anger about a shark hunting program broadcasted on spike tv and this article, though not having anything to do with the shark hunt, still eases my anger. im glad you put this up!
Yeah I saw that show too, I couldn’t believe that one crew caught a 500+ pound Thresher shark- I had no idea Threshers could get so big!
All I can say is Thank God there are still some sane people left in the world.
PS I meant the man who saved the shark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
You have to watch these small ones. I was swimming in waters off of North Carolina in early August and one of the little bastards latched onto my testicular sack…needless to say, I had to defend my manhod against the vicius little son of a bitch. When they get to adult size, they will go after your entire johnson. When you swim in NC, keep one hand on your sac…

Bull***t stories like yours are the reason people hunt and kill sharks. They watched Jaws once and think sharks are meant to be feared. That is the reason so many are endangered.
Absolute bull***t. Kudos to the lifeguard for having a bit of sense in a crowd of idiots.
Sean K, you are a jackass. I personally know 3 men who were unwittingly castrated by these demonic fish whilst swimming with their families. One of these unfortunate men was attacked in his own pool! Somehow the evil little shark managed to sneak into their pool the night before the incident.
Apparently sharks are attracted to testosterone. The Ampulae of Lorenzini home in on male human genetalia and poor mister manhood doesn’t stand a chance. Let all swimmers and recreational bathers beware! If we don’t destroy all sharks now, they will eat our penii later!
