People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.

It was a “Jaws”-dropping encounter.

A 7-foot shark swam uncomfortably close to a Long Island lifeguard paddling just off the shore of Lido Beach on Monday afternoon, forcing the temporary closure of the sandy stretch, local authorities say.



The lifeguard remained calm as a shark’s signature fin surfaced a few feet from his board about 30 yards from shore, said Don Clavin, supervisor of Hempstead.

The toothy beast then swam past the guard without incident, but the 5 p.m. sighting still prompted Lido lifeguards to whistle bathers in from the water and close the beach for roughly an hour.
