Sea lion drags man overboard

MISSION BAY - A man posing for a picture today while holding a fish was attacked by a sea lion which hauled him over the side of a boat into the water, San Diego Fire-Rescue said.

``At 2:38 p.m. a man was on a boat at the Hyatt Mission Bay Marina when he was bitten by a sea lion and pulled into the water,'' San Diego Fire-Rescue spokesman Lee Swanson said.

``A 300-pound sea lion grabbed the fish and pulled the man over the side into the water and dragged him 20 feet through the water,'' Fox 5 said.

The broadcast news station said the man sustained puncture wounds and lacerations to his leg, and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
