Off-Duty Police Officer Pulls Boy From Approaching Shark
July 22, 2020
An off-duty police officer in Florida didn't hesitate to rush into the water and pull a young boy from an approaching shark.
Cocoa Beach police officer Adrian Kosicki was off-duty Thursday evening, July 16, walking on the beach with his wife near the pier when they noticed a shark approaching a small boy on a boogie board.
Adrian made the decision to quickly enter the water and pull the boy from the surf as the shark began to get dangerously close, within only a couple of feet at its nearest distance.
"We're certainly not marine biologists, educated and trained to differentiate between the various species of sharks, their respective feeding habits, and aggressiveness near swimmers. We just do what we do best — protect the public from harm," Cocoa Beach Police & Fire wrote in a Facebook post.
"Thanks to Adrian, we'll never know what that shark's intentions were, and that little boy will forever have a pretty cool story to tell."
