Pacifica shark attacks Calif. man in kayak
Police say a shark bit a kayak in waters just south of San Francisco, but the man inside it escaped unharmed.
Pacifica police Capt. Joe Spanheimer says the man was fishing from a kayak shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday off Pacifica State Beach.
Spanheimer tells the San Francisco Chronicle that an unknown species of shark swam up to the fisherman, bit his kayak then briefly circled around it before swimming away. The kayaker retued to shore without injury.
Police say swimmers and surfers rarely go to the area where the incident occurred, but signs would be posted on the beach waing people about the shark run-in.
Most shark attacks off Califoia shores occur between July and November, when the predators are drawn by seals and sea lions.
