A quiet fishing trip turned into a struggle when an octopus suddenly wrapped itself around a fisherman’s head and refused to let go. The fisherman was off the coast of Mexico when the creature latched onto his face. Video of the moment shows him pulling and clawing at the octopus as its tentacles spread across his head. For a second, it looks like he might get it off. Then the octopus grips him again. Its suckers cling to his skin as the fisherman fights to free himself. The creature covers his nose, mouth and eyes, making the situation look more frightening, as per a report by The UK Sun.
His friend is behind the camera as the whole thing unfolds. The octopus would not let go. The incident happened off the port town of Progreso, and the footage was published online on Wednesday. The fisherman keeps trying to pull the animal from his face. The octopus however, seems determined to stay where it is.
