As the Fourth of July holiday approaches and families are planning beach time, some people on Long Island have lingering fears of the ocean.

A 20-year-old woman suffered minor injuries when she was apparently bitten by a stand tiger shark while standing in waist-deep water, according to officials.

The woman had minor cuts to her left foot and leg after being bitten on Wednesday. She was transported to a hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening, officials said.
