WEST HAMPTON DUNES, N.Y., July 4 (UPI) -- An 8-foot blue shark chomped on a New York fisherman's arm as he released the fish back into the Atlantic Ocean, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
Frank Joseph, 20, was helicoptered to a Long Island hospital. Doctors said the wound was not deep or life-threatening.
He had been removing the hook from the shark's mouth around 12:30 p.m. EDT Saturday when the shark turned and snapped at the bottom of Joseph's right bicep, Coast Guard Petty Officer Antonio Capoccetta told the New York Daily News.
Two other men aboard the 25-foot recreational fishing boat in Moriches Inlet, about 25 nautical miles south of Shinnecock, N.Y., used a sweatshirt to stanch the bleeding and called for help as the shark swam off into the ocean.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
