Beachgoers band together to try and save great white shark stranded on Massachusetts beach
People came to the shark's rescue by throwing water at it and towing the predator back into the ocean by digging a trench to the water
The footage was captured Robyn Schnaible, who was visiting the beach with her family.
She said: “We got there at about 10am, and there was a huge crowd of people up ahead on the beach. We thought it was a whale, but we were told it was a great white that was alive and they were trying to save it.
"They dug a huge trench to take him back out to sea – it was like a big slip and slide.
“It had taken them a few hours to get to that point. They were using anything they could get their hands on – shovels, sandcastle toys, rubber boot. Someone tied a rope around his tail and a paddle boarder took the other end out to a boat with a tow on it."
