A small Spadenose shark jumped out of its uncovered aquarium to the horror of a farang who thought it was going to eat his baby yesterday.

Despite the horrifying picture of the shark flopping around on the floor and a collapsed baby carriage, no injuries were reported in the incident at Central Ubon Ratchathani. Reports suggest the shark was eventually returned to the aquarium unharmed, after a number of people poked at it.

The mall’s public relations blamed the shark jump incident on a child who was seen tapping the aquarium with a toy, scaring the cute little shark.

Terrified that it was a scene out of Sharknado, a dad damaged his baby carriage as he desperately snatched his child to safety, just in case it was a very tiny shark attack. The baby wasn’t struck by the shark whatsoever, according to the mall’s CCTV footage.

The aquarium is 150 centimeter tall and displays different animals such as bluespotted stingrays, yellow tangs, red snappers and other pretty fish.

In August, a 2-year-old boy had to get 20 stitches after something ate his hand after he’d dipped it in the same aquarium while his guardian was holding him, state media reported.
