A lifeguard off Scarborough Beach in Maine says a shark grabbed onto his buoy and pulled him about five feet underwater before he managed to get free. CBS News reports the lifeguard described the moment as happening quickly and said he began swimming hard to escape.
The incident draws attention to how lifeguards and beachgoers respond to unusual marine encounters. While the available reporting focuses on the lifeguard’s account and the immediate circumstances, it does not include additional details such as the shark species, the presence of any injuries beyond the lifeguard’s escape, or whether authorities were notified. The Yahoo News listing mirrors the same event description attributed to CBS, offering limited further context or differing perspectives in the provided material.
