A shocking video shows a river otter attacking a young boy and his mother at a marina in Washington state. The boy narrowly escaped drowning after being dragged underwater by the otter.
A shocking new video revealed a river otter attacking a boy and his mother at a Washington state marina moments after it nearly drowned the child. The youngster narrowly survived being dragged underwater by the rampaging river otter — which also attacked the boy’s horrified mom during a morning walk, authorities said. The youngster was with his mother on a dock at Bremerton Marina in Kitsap County the morning of Sept. 12 when the otter pounced.
None of the videos that KIRO 7 received from the Port of Bremerton show the actual attack happening, but in one clip, the terrified mom and son can be seen running down the dock — with the otter in hot pursuit moments later. Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife officials said that in most cases, otters tend to shy away from people, KIRO 7 reported. The boy — who has not been identified publicly — was taken to the hospital to be treated for bites and scratches
