A 37-year-old British Columbia man accused of jumping into a shark tank at a Toronto aquarium and taking a swim completely nude had his court case put over until Friday.
The man made a brief court appearance at the Old City Hall courthouse on Thursday wearing a red and black striped hoodie and grey sweatpants.
Police said the man was arrested in Thunder Bay, Ont., on Tuesday after being on the run for several days following the stunt which was caught on video and posted on social media.
Authorities said they received a call around 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 12 of a man exposing himself at the Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada in downtown Toronto.
