Video shows Otter stalking his family after allegedly attacking a child

There has been otter pandemonium at a marina in Washington state, where an aggressive otter menacingly stalked a mother and her young children after allegedly nearly drowning one of the children.

New video shows the otter running after the mother and her children as they try to escape across the dock.

Shortly before, the otter had reportedly dragged this woman's little boy from the dock into the water – almost drowning the child in the process.

The incident happened last month in Seattle, but the video is just coming out… and the mother looks terribly scared here, and for good reason. Her son was taken to a hospital after suffering injuries from the otter's bites and scratches.

It's the second time we've seen otters become aggressive towards humans recently…over in Malaysia it was a female jogger attacked by a pack of otterswhich left her a bloody and crying mess.
