Shark Shook Swimmer ‘Like A Dog’ During Del Mar Attack: Report

DEL MAR, CA – Lyn Jutronich was taking a break in the water during her morning ocean swim on Friday when something rammed her hard out of the water.

“I felt a huge, like a really hard hit right, I don’t know how else to say this, like right between my legs and it pushed me, it hurt and it pushed me up and out of the water,” Jutronich, 50, described to ABC news affiliate KGTV.

“I saw it clamp on my leg so I don’t know if I saw it bite my leg or if I saw it after it bit my leg, but I definitely saw the mouth,” she recalled, adding that the shark proceeded to shake her “kind of like a dog."

As previously reported, Jutronich was on a mile-long swim with another person when the attack occurred, according to NBC7 San Diego.

After the attack, the beach at the 17th Street Lifeguard tower was closed, according to the outlet.
