Sometimes a tale come along that ’s so bizarre there ’s no good way to ease into it . So here goes : A man stripped naked , skip over a surety barrier , and swim with dozens of tropic fish in a 2.9 million cubic decimetre shark tank during a jazz night hosted by a Toronto aquarium last week .
Toronto police first got the call about an “ indecent photo incident ” at just after 10.30pm on Friday , October 12 . The human beings , who has since been identified as David Weaver of Nelson , BC , had hop , buck naked , into the Dangerous Lagoon , the largest exhibit at Toronto ’s Ripley ’s Aquarium of Canada , unite the local population of green sea turtle , immature moray eel , and 17 sand Panthera tigris sharks in the tank .
“ We ’ve never had an incident like this before , ” aquarium world-wide manager Peter Doyle toldThe Globe and Mail . “ I ’ve never seen this in my 25 years work on in aquariums . ”
Videos from other visitors to the fish tank show Weaver enjoying a work-shy backstroke , before appear to get out at the request of security system military officer – only to dive back in as onlooker jolly up .
“ The cat seemed totally relaxed and there were shark , like , everywhere , ” visitor Erinn Acland toldCBC Toronto . “ He appeared to be totally nude and , like , express mirth . ”
“ I do n’t eff what would possess someone to do that . It ’s wholly insane to me , ” she bear on . “ I was scared I was drop dead to witness the death of this hombre . ”
By the time the police force arrived , the incident was over , as Weaver had get out of the tank car and left the marine museum .
“ We arrive on scene within seven minutes and he was already gone , ” Toronto police representative Katrina Arrogante severalise The Globe and Mail . And in a strange braid , it appears Weaver is also wanted by police for a vehement ravishment at a medieval - themed restaurant to begin with the same dark .
Although neither Weaver nor the animals were harmed in the stunt , the aquarium has released a statement saying they are “ unforced to weight-lift all appropriate charge ” .
“ [ This was ] very grave for both the person as well as our animals , ” aquarium general handler Peter Doyle told CBC Toronto .
“ An animal ’s wellness and welfare is paramount to what we do so … we plan to bid explosive charge to the full extent of the law . ”
The tale comes only month after a group of Pisces - nappersstole a shark from a Texas aquariumby trying to disguise it as a baby – turn up once again that a lot of odd activities go down at marine life centers .
