The police are looking for a naked, naked man who jumped into a shark tank just hours after assaulting a man in front of a medieval themed dinner show, authorities in Toronto said.

David Weaver, 37, of Nelson, BC, is wanted for "assault causing bodily harm" and "mischief affecting property" after two separate incidents that occurred a few hours apart.

Police officer Allyson Douglas-Cook said in the US TODAY, everything began around 8 pm. Local Time Friday night at the Medieval Times dinner and tournament in Toronto, a family-themed medieval show that includes a dinner and a tournament.

Staff members were alerted by a "unruly" public member to whom they asked to leave, said Douglas-Cook, but the man soon returned and kicked two glass doors who broke up.

Outside the show, another person attending the show was smoking a cigarette, when the man assaulted him shortly after he left, said Douglas-Cook.

The man had already run away when the police arrived. The victim had two black eyes and a broken tooth. She was taken to the hospital, police said.

A little over two hours later and a few miles away, the police received a call from the Aquarium of Ripley of Canada.

A man was undressed and jumped into a shark tank, said Douglas-Cook.

"The man then spent several minutes swimming and diving into the tank before going out," police said in a statement.

The video of the incident, which has become viral since, shows the man performing at least one dive back. Another angle below the surface shows sharks and fish in the basin mostly ignoring the intruder.

Douglas-Cook has not damaged the aquarium or its animals.

The police had first dealt with the incident in the medieval times and at the aquarium, but had been able to determine, from photographs taken at both locations, that the alleged culprit in both Weaver's business was the same, said Douglas-Cook.

Neither Medieval Times nor the Ripley Aquarium immediately responded to USA TODAY's request for comment.

Aquarium Executive Director Peter Doyle told CBC News that Ripley intended to lay charges.

"It's very dangerous for the individual as well as for our animals," he told the Canadian press.

The investigators were still trying to determine the motive of the man and could only speculate on the presence of drugs or alcohol, said Douglas-Cook.

"It's very unusual." The video went viral for a reason, "said Douglas-Cook. "It was funny, but it was not really a matter of laughing."
