A man has said he "couldn't believe" what he was seeing when he came across a shark swimming in an east Belfast river.

Thomas Davidson was cycling through Victoria Park on Tuesday evening when he spotted a 4ft-long starry smooth-hound shark in the Connswater River, where the waterway meets Belfast Lough.

The species of shark has been seen in other urban areas such as the River Thames and the River Mersey estuary.
