Killer shark attacks shoppers in London

A killer shark attacked shoppers at a fishmongers.

''Talk about a having a bite of dinner - this dinner bites you!''

Shoppers at Steve Hatt's fishmongers in Islington, North London were shocked when the shark jumped onto the counter and began thrashing around.

But luckily the animal was a fake, a stunt thought up by the special effects producers at Syfy.

A team of four artists and animatronic experts spent two weeks creating the lifelike shark in celebration of the upcoming release of 'Sharknado 2: The Second One'.

Fishmonger, Steve Hatt, says: ''We've sold some big fish in our time ... but we have never stocked anything as menacing or as unusual as a Sharknado shark.
