Crowds of people remain gathered at Wellington's waterfront this evening to catch a glimpse of a trapped blue shark.
The blue shark, which is over two metres long, has trapped itself near the jumping platform off Taranki Street by national museum Te Papa.
The area where the shark was is surrounded by blue plastic, which was in place to prevent the water from becoming polluted as it was a popular spot for swimmers.
Ruth Belton, manager of Cafe Moana, which is located along the waterfront said she spotted the shark right beside the cafe when she arrived for work this morning.
