‘I got pulled under’: Lifeguard recalls terrifying encounter with shark at New England beach

Lifeguard Greg Wilfert experienced a frightening encounter with a shark at Scarborough Beach in Maine. The shark grabbed his flotation buoy and dragged him five feet underwater before he managed to escape. Wilfert reported that he started swimming intensely to free himself from the animal. While such incidents remain rare, there has been a documented rise in shark sightings along the East Coast, as reported by CBS News correspondent Tom Hanson regarding the event.
