Shark attack(ed)

And it's not even season yet. From the Crime Report on Page 2 of Thursday's Citizen:

"A man wearing a coconut bra, red skirt and black thong allegedly attacked another man, who was in a shark costume, in the 300 block of Duval Street.

"Police couldn't find the alleged assailant, despite the coconut-bra getup, reports say.

"Witnesses said the attacker . . .tackled the shark-costumed victim from behind, then ran through the Hard Rock Cafe and out the back entrance onto Rose Lane.

"The victim said he was merely walking down the street dressed as a shark when he was hit from behind and knocked down to his knees. He said he didn't get a good look at the suspect due to the limitations of his costume, but that he wanted to press charges. Both his knees were scraped, but he declined medical treatment, the report says.

"Three cruise ship employees allegedly walking with the suspect before the attack said they had just met and knew him only as 'Daniel.' They reportedly didn't know his last name or where he was from, but added that he had an English accent.

"The officer took photos of the victim's knees, gave him a case number, and sent out an alert to be on the lookout for the coconut-bra suspect."
