Crazed river otter nearly drowns child after dragging them underwater at marina

A young Washington state child narrowly survived being dragged underwater by a crazed river otter — which also attacked the kid’s horrified mom during a morning walk.

The youngster was with their mother on a dock at Bremerton Marina in Kitsap County Thursday m🐷orning when the otter pounced, .

The animal managed t♎o pull the child underwaterཧ, the agency said.

When the child briefly resurfaced, the desp𓆏erate mom was able to lift them back onto the dock while the 🎉otter continued to attack.

The mother sustained a bite to her arm, while the child had “scratches and bites to the top 🐻of the head, face and legs,” the department explained.

The vicious otter also kept pursuing the family asඣ they fled t𓂃he dock area.

The child – who has not been identified pub🐬licly – was treated at a local hospital,

“We are grateful the victim only sustained minor injuries, due to the mother’s qui🐎ck actions and child’s resiliency,” said WDFW Sergeant, Ken Balazs. 

“We would also like to thank the Port of Bremerton for their quick coordination and communication to their 🌱marina tenants.”

After the incident, officers with the WDFW contacted the US Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services to trap and lethally remo🌺vꩵe river otters from the marina.

One otter was trapped at the scene, and will be tested for rabies♊ at the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Lab.

The shocking marina attack came just days after a woman in Malaysia was left bloody and crying after she was mauled by eight otters during a jog.

🎶Last year, a woman in Montana had to be airlifted to the hospital after she was also set upon by the terri🍌torial creatures during a kayaking trip.

The victim, Jen Royce, had half of her ear chewed off by the “vicious and relentless” otter that targeted her and her friendsꦓ on the Jefferson River near Bozeman.

“The water was definitely where they excelled in their attack and we were helpless. I tried to kic❀k it away but I would just get attacked somewhere else,” she wrote on social media of the ordeal.

“God’s honest truth, I did not think I was going to♑ make it out of that river. I had no clue if my friends were going to make it out. But by the grace of God we did.”
