At first the bathers panicked as they thought it was a shark during the incident in Chalkida, Evia, Greece. But when they realised it was a swordfish, people started to chase after it and throw objects at the animal, according to reports. Video footage appears to show groups of people crowding around watching while others swim after the fish. People are laughing and jeering in the background and some can be seen filming the ordeal on their camera phones. Some swimmers seem determined to catch up with the fish in the water as others watch on the surface.
