A woman who lost a chunk of her leg in a shark attack at a popular New York City beach was saved by a pair of hero lifeguards who jumped into action and used sweatpants to make a tourniquet.
The 65-year-old woman, whose name has not been released, was swimming alone in the ocean at Rockaway Beach just before 6pm on Monday when a shark bit her left leg, the city parks department said in a statement.
