Long Island launches new anti-shark patrols after beach bite — as top official dives in to defy ‘Jaws'
You've been warned, Jaws. Nassau County's top elected official took a dip at Nickerson beach Monday to prove the waters were safe — as new anti-shark patrols were launched after one of the predators took a bite out of a swimmer. County Executive Bruce Blakeman said anti-shark patrols would scan local beaches while air- and sea-borne police would also keep an eye out for summertime hazards like riptides. 5 Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman took a dip at Nickerson Beach on June 30, 2025 to prove that the waters are safe after a reported shark bite. Brandon Cruz/NY Post 5 Blakeman announced that new anti-shark patrols will be launched for Nassau County beaches. Brandon Cruz/NY Post 'There are sharks in the water,' the Republican told reporters. 'We are increasing our patrols this summer on the oceans as we do every summer, but we're putting up more drones than we have before, keeping our helicopters in the air longer, and our boats on the water longer.' The announcement came about two miles from the spot on Jones Beach where a woman was bitten by a small sand tiger shark last week — a minor incident, though Blakeman said sharks and riptides have become increasingly common on Long Island. . Blakeman said the ultimate goal is safety — and that these increases make sure the marine police can flag any issue in the water that could affect the safety of people swimming before the situation has a chance to escalate. 5 The patrols will work to spot sharks and other hazards like riptides. Brandon Cruz/NY Post 5 Blakeman declared that Nassau beachgoers will have a safe summer if they use common sense. Brandon Cruz/NY Post Beachgoers told The Post they're all for the extra eyes on the ocean. 'I like that there is another set of eyes out on the water so we can just enjoy our time here and not really have to worry about sharks as much,' said Caitlin Rinaldi, a 23-year-old self-described beach bum. Every morning, the NY POSTcast offers a deep dive into the headlines with the Post's signature mix of politics, business, pop culture, true crime and everything in between. Subscribe here! But others said they felt safe for a 'little while' when the new patrols launched Monday but they feared it was all for show. 'Once [Blakeman] left, so did the patrol,' said Lauren Porcelli, who was visiting the beach with her children. 5 Nassau County will use helicopters and drones to help patrol the shores. Brandon Cruz/NY Post However, Blakeman said he timed the press conference to line up with the Nassau Marine Police's scheduled patrol of Nickerson Beach, and said that they left to patrol another area close by. Blakeman himself took a dive in the ocean and went for a brief swim, declaring beachgoers were in good hands. 'If you just use common sense, you'll have a very safe and fun summer,' Blakeman said.

Man arrested, 51 treated after bear spray used at NYC pride parade
Officials said Monday that Dominic Sabator, of Harlem, unleashed potent pepper spray at New York City's pride event (seen Sunday afternoon along Fifth Avenue) because he believed that he was to be jumped. Photo by Peter Foley/UPI | License Photo June 30 (UPI) -- A 33-year-old man is in New York City police custody after bear repellant sprayed into the crowd during the city's annual Pride Month march injured 51 parade goers. Officials said Monday that Dominic Sabator, of Harlem, unleashed the potent pepper spray Sunday during the event because he believed that he was about to be jumped by unnamed suspects. Video footage from Sunday's pride event incident at Washington Square Park in Manhattan depicted at least two dozen police officers on scene with first responders called at about 7:50 p.m. EDT to 53 Washington Square South, according to FDNY. "An individual deployed bear deterrent. This individual is in custody," NYPD posted Sunday on social media at 8:00 p.m. EDT. Initial reports stated that six people were treated with minor injuries after panic swept the crowd and people were seen fleeing in all directions in the Greenwich Village park as the Fifth Avenue pride parade wrapped up. "We ask the public to remain calm," police stated at the time. But medics ultimately treated 47 victims on scene, with four others transported to local Bellevue and Northwell Greenwich Village Hospitals. No further details have been released on Sabator or other information relating to the attack. The incident took place within hours of a shooting near Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street that saw two 16- and 17-year-old victims injured shortly after 10 p.m. local time about six blocks from the park. One is reported to be in critical and the other in stable condition. Police have not determined if the shooting was connected to the Pride celebrations. New York City's annual pride event is known to draw in up to two million attendees to the Big Apple. Last year's marked the 55th anniversary of New York City's 1969 Stonewall Uprising, which sparked the modern-day gay rights movement in the United States. The bear repellant mix can be up to three times more toxic than the commonly-used pepper spray used to ward off would-be muggers. Meanwhile, Sabator was arrested by NYPD on charges of assault, reckless endangerment and possession of a noxious chemical. It's unclear when he will see an initial court hearing.

Bear-spray attacker charged for dousing crowd, sparking stampede at NYC park Pride party: ‘Vomiting all over'
A 23-year-old New Yorker was nabbed for allegedly unleashing bear spray at a massive crowd of Pride revelers inside Washington Square Park, apparently out of fear of being assaulted himself, cops and sources said. Dominick Sabater, 23, of Harlem, allegedly sprayed the substance – held inside an 8.1 ounce container with an image of a bear on the label – as the crowd in the greenspace swelled to about 1,000 people around 7:50 p.m., authorities and law enforcement sources said. 'At some point, a determination was made not to let anybody else into the park. It was overcrowded,' Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters Monday. 'They were using gates to let people leave the park, but nobody was allowed in. At some point, officers are made aware of a disturbance. It appears like a fight is going on.'

FreedomNewsTV Sabater allegedly used the potent substance as a 'deterrent' to keep the crowd away from him, out of fear that he would be jumped or get involved in a fight, the sources said. Forty-seven members of the crowd were treated by EMS at the scene, and four others were taken to Bellevue Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition, cops said. Advertisement It wasn't immediately clear how many injuries were due to the repellant, and how many were sustained during the ensuing stampede, but none were expected to be life-threatening. 5 Fifty-one civilians and a dozen cops were hurt in the mayhem. AP Additionally, a dozen police officers who were exposed to the spray were also taken to Northwell Greenwich Village Hospital for treatment, police said. 'Officers rushed to the scene, and they are immediately hit with an orange substance that causes them irritation to their eyes, and some of them actually couldn't breathe,' Kenny said. 'So this resulted in 12 officers being removed to the hospital where they were treated for various injuries to their eyes, their throats, into their lungs, difficulty breathing.'

His arraignment was pending Monday afternoon. 5 Sabater's arraignment was pending Monday afternoon.
