There may be a shark in the Hudson River.

James Gabriel clearly caught a dorsal fin cutting through the water on camera. Tye question is: why would a shark be in the Hudson River? The Hudson Police Department shared the video, and many people pointed out that Bull sharks can live in fresh water for a period of time.

This wouldn’t be the firs time a Bull shark made an appearance in there river. In 2015 an amateur fisherman caught one near Battery Park in new York City.
