The boy’s heel and toes were reportedly unharmed, and his injuries were not considered life-threatening, as reported by the New York Post. The fact that a girl of the same age, 15, had met the same end earlier in the day just added to the drama of the situation. At around 1:45 p.m., officials at Robert Moses State Park received a report that a teenager had been bitten by a shark. The girl’s left leg had many puncture wounds that required medical attention. Enhanced drone patrols were used to search the surface of the water, but no sharks were seen, and water activities were halted in the area surrounding the beach as a result.
New Yorkers are understandably shaken by the recent deaths of many youngsters who tried the dangerous habit of subway surfing. But now these predators prowl on the beaches, making life difficult for everyone.

Social media trend gives a nightmare to every New York City parent
Subway surfing is a major concern for all New York City parents. Lots of young people have been murdered by this trend in a little over a year. Even more recently, it has rocked the lives of these two friends since one of them is no longer here on the planet. Briyan Crespo and Widinson Garcia, both 14 years old, decided a few days ago to try their hand at the absurd phenomenon of subway surfing. The two youngsters’ bursts of adrenaline resulted in the worst conceivable outcome.
Briyan Crespo, one of the youngsters, perished at the scene of the crash, while Widinson Garcia was clinging to life on the railroad tracks. Due to the severity of his injuries, Garcia will be spending a great deal of time in the hospital bed at the nearby Cohen Children’s Medical Center in Queens. Subway security has been stepped up as a result, making it more difficult for youths to attempt such a dangerous stunt.
