Tim Lindon was enjoying cooling off in the sea at Caister, when he noticed a fish with a large fin swim past behind him.
He said: 'When you see anything with a fin in the ocean you swim away from it! I was reasoning that this is Norfolk, you don't get sharks in the UK, but I wanted to get out to try and have a better look anyway.
'It was over a metre long, and it had some sort of injury to its nose. It was thrashing about in the sea, I think it was trying to get into the warmer water.'
the 39-year-old added: 'I'm a videographer so I have my camera with me wherever I go. So I grabbed it for some footage. People around me were yelling that there was a shark in the water, and everyone was rushing out.'

Having posted it on Facebook, many viewers believe that it was a Smooth-hound shark.
