From Times Wire Reports
A 19-year-old fisherman is recovering from an encounter with a sea lion that leaped out of the water, grabbed the man as he worked on his grandfather’s docked boat and pulled him into the harbor at King Cove in the Aleutian Islands.
“It happened so fast, I forgot what I was doing,” said Ray Dushkin Jr., who was not seriously injured.
He spent a few moments under the water before the hefty animal let him go.
Sea lions have been known to jump up on boats and docks but generally not to attack people.
