Marlins fan sues club over 'shark attack' by racing mascot

It sounds like something from the old "Saturday Night Live" sketch with the ominous "Jaws" music and a candygram delivery, but a Miami Marlins fan is suing the club over an alleged shark attack.

Beth Fedornak claims she was injured by Bob the Shark, one of the costumed mascots — the others are Spike the Sea Dragon, Julio the Octopus and Angel the Stone Crab — who race around the warning track at Marlins games. Her injuries allegedly occurred at a 2013 game, according to a lawsuit filed last month.

As Bob left the field after the race — it's not clear whether or not he won — he pretended to bite off Fedornak's head, the suit says. Fedornak, who was sitting just a few rows from the field, "felt immediate pain in her neck after the impact of the shark head down on the top of her skull," her suit claims.

She is still suffering pain two years later, unable to work and stuck with medical expenses, Fedornak says.

Carl Reynolds, Fedornak's attorney, told the Miami New Times: "This is a case where a mascot hopped up to a person in the stands and ... there was a battery. ... They need to just do the right thing and accept responsibility for a fan interaction that just got a little bit out of control."

Where was Ian Ziering when she needed him?
