Description:
A shark bit another man in the hand June 26 while he was swimming a short distance from the beach near 7th Avenue.
The 37-year-old told authorities he was swimming in breaking waves when the shark nipped his hand. He described the shark as being nearly 5 feet long.
The man's wound didn't appear to be serious. He went to East Cooper Medical Center in a personal vehicle after declining a ride in an ambulance.
There were several shark bites reported on the Isle of Palms last year. Mayor Mike Sottile attributes the attacks to an increase in human population.
"We have more and more people coming to the beach, and you just need to be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to where you are in the water," he said.
