After reading the details this is not an attack (IMO) but that the. Swimmer was in the wrong place at the wrong time as it was trying to free itself, and thrashing in the water. Swimmer got bitten in the process. Just my opinion of course
Lots of folks on this board have swam around that pier, it's one of our local spots. Apparently a fisherman had the GW illegally on the line for > 40 minutes. Unclear whether he cut the line after seeing the aggravated shark bite the swimmer, or whether someone else did. Fisherman was apparently arrested as it's illegal to fish GWS. And dangerous of a pier popular with swimmers.
I do not know the swimmer personally, but through friends. He's an open water swimmer. Apparently he is in critical condition but will survive. But this type of info changes rapidly and may not be accurate
Our annual (hermosa) Pier to (manhattan) pier swim is in 4 weeks
