An evening swim turned into a terror ride for a Florida woman who says she suddenly found herself on the back of a shark!
Judy Fischman was swimming at Bethune Beach at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday when she was lifted above the water, The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports. “My first thought was ‘I hope this is a manatee,’ “ Judy said. “Then I saw other sharks and I thought, ‘My God, how am I going to escape a whole group of sharks?’ ”
Witnesses confirmed her story and say they watched in horror as the sharks surrounded the woman. “I about screamed and said, ‘Oh my God, oh my God, they’re heading right to her, right to her,’ “ a woman told The News-Journal. She says Judy was the only person in the water at the time.
Incredibly, Judy recalled shark attack advice she heard on TV and began punching the shark. She says the animal rolled over and took off along with its companions.
Judy believes she became the subject of their attention because they mistook her for a seal. “I had on a black bathing suit,” she said.
She suffered only scrapes on her legs.
A shark expert at the University of Florida says it’s not unlikely that she saw a shark, but it could’ve been a dolphin or small whale.
