there was one in Hermosa or Manhattan...one or two (or three) years ago. It was another bad red tide with lots of sick animals beaching themselves all over redondo, hermosa, manhattan etc. One group of children were gathering around a large sick one and they were harrassing it and throwing mud at it, etc. It got up from where it was waiting to die and swam off into the water, taking a bite out a surfer's arm as it swam out. It was in the daily breeze. the bite victim said he didn't blame the animal becsuse the kids (he described them as "inner city") were provoking the animal.
