The woman, whose name was not released, was taken to Boca Raton Regional Hospital with the shark still attached to her arm, Lemons said.
Photos taken by a bystander and provided by fire-rescue show that the injuries appear to be minor.
This attack was much less severe than when a 7-foot bull shark bit a diver's arm while the man was diving off Singer Island in April.
The diver, Kyle Senkowicz, was taken to St. Mary’s Medical Center.
