A 50-year-old woman suffered a “major injury” from an apparent shark attack at Rockaway Beach Monday evening, according to officials and sources.

The woman was in the water near the Beach 59th Street entrance of the Queens beach when she sustained a gash on her leg just before 6 p.m., the FDNY and sources said.

Rescuers applied a tourniquet to the woman’s leg, which was bleeding heavily, sources said. She was rushed to Jamaica Hospital.

Authorities preliminarily believe the encounter was a shark attack, sources said.

The FDNY only confirmed they responded to a patient with a “major injury” at the beach.

An NYPD spokesperson referred comment to the city’s Parks & Recreation Department, which did not immediately respond to an email.

Shark sightings have become more common in recent years in Queens and on Long Island.

In June, swimmers were forced to flee the water for an hour due to a shark sighting in the Hammels section of Rockaway Beach, CBS 2 reported at the time.

“The shark was probably 50 yards out, and they called for everybody to get out of the water,” Brooklyn resident Chip Newell told the station in June of the past sighting.

“It was a brown fin. Definitely wasn’t a dolphin … There were a lot of helicopters here within a matter of probably 15 minutes. It was pretty crazy.”

The Parks Department was forced to close Rockaway Beach for a day in July 2022 amid a heat wave due to shark sightings.

There have been multiple reported shark attacks on Long Island this summer.
