A British Columbia man accused of skinny dipping with the sharks at Ripley’s Aquarium in Toronto is due in court today.<\/p>\n
On October 12, 2018, David Weaver allegedly took off his clothes, hopped a security barrier and jumped into the “dangerous lagoon” of the aquarium.<\/p>\n
Officials say he then spent several minutes swimming in the 2.9-million litre tank with sand tiger sharks, sawfish and moray eels as a crowd looked on.<\/p>\n
He then allegedly fled the aquarium before officers arrived.<\/p>\n
Toronto police said Weaver had\u00a0assaulted and seriously injured a man two hours earlier\u00a0that night outside Medieval Times, a dinner and show attraction.<\/p>\n
He’s charged with one count of assault causing bodily harm, mischief under five-thousand dollars and mischief interfering with property.<\/p>\n
Provincial police arrested Weaver four days after his alleged swim in Thunder Bay, Ont. during a vehicle stop.<\/p>\n
