Original caption

A swimmer at Ancon Beach on Marbella's Golden Mile in Spain was filmed desperately trying to reach shore after spotting what he thought was a shark following him through the shallows. The massive fish turned out to be a giant tuna that was injured and struggling in the water. Beachgoers eventually used sunbeds and deck chairs to help guide it back into deeper water. #Marbella #Spain #Tuna #SharkAttack
