FORT PIERCE, Fla. — A 36-year-old surfer from Stuart told WPTV that he was in the water last Sunday afternoon at Pepper Park Beach in Fort Pierce when, suddenly, he felt a shark bite down. "It was a big animal next to me coming towards me and then, once it bit me, it took a chomp out of my foot and it just immediately left and just flew away, like so quick," Matt Picarelli recalled. "Everything happening so quickly, it didn't feel real at all. It felt very surreal." Picarelli recalled rushing out of the water as strangers jumped into action.
