A dolphin that is a local celebrity in Doolin, Ireland, has been filmed attacking a woman swimming in the sea alongside the mammal.
The woman was injured when, local celebrity and much loved "Dusty" the dolphin, attacked her while she was swimming off Doolin Pier.
The dolphin is believed to have struck the woman in the kidney area with its nose, leaving her winded and shouting to be rescued.
In the video, "Dusty" can be seen swimming around two people in the water while other members of the public look on from the pier.
The mammal then begins to splash its tail around and it can be seen swimming up to the woman.
She lets out a scream of pain before shouting for the people on the pier to get her out of the water.
The woman is pulled from the sea by a man and can be seen lying down trying to catch her breath after being winded.
Dusty has long been a local resident in the shores off County Clare, but in recent months has been responsible for injuring several people.
