emergency workers prevented a pod of dolphins from drowning an
intoxicated man in the Black Sea, the Interfax news agency repors.
The
incident took place off a beach near the Crimean resort city Yalta,
where a pair of patrolling emergency workers happened upon a swimmer
under an apparent attack by the water mammals.
The man,
reportedly heavily under the influence of alcohol at the time, was some
30 metres from land, near a wave breakwater, and calling for help.
The dolphins attempting to push the man out to sea, witnesses said.
The
emergency workers brought the man back to dry land after approaching
the breakwater via a pier, and striking the water repeatedly with
clubs, so as to frighten away the dolphins.
