A viral video showed a woman in Sydney, who is a real estate agent, wrestling a shark out of an ocean swimming pool in New South Wales, Australia, reports said Tuesday.

Sydney real estate agent Melissa Hatheier was swimming in the Oak Park rock pool near Cronulla when she spotted the shark trapped in a rock pool, presumably because of the low tide. She was captured by her daughter, wrestling the shark and throwing it over the edge of the pool and back into the ocean, Mirror.co.uk reported.

The video posted on Cronulla Real Estate’s Facebook page garnered over 100,000 views and 900 shares at the time of publishing this article.

"Our in-house shark wrangler Melissa Hatheier wrestling a shark out of Oak Park rock pool yesterday morning," the Facebook post read.

Hatheier has become an internet sensation after the brave act. Huge cheers could be heard in the background as she succeeded in lifting the shark up and threw it back into the sea.

"My Mum, who swims at Oak Park every morning, called me just after 7 a.m. on Monday and said, 'There's a shark in the rock pool,'" Hatheier told Nine Network’s Today show.

"I rounded up the kids and we headed to the pool. The water was very clear and it was easy to see the shark swimming around. He was only about a meter long. I started to swim around him and he became a bit stressed and started to knock his head on the rocks. I was feeling sorry for him,” she said.

“Everyone was saying, 'What do we do?' Mum even rang triple zero and the police came. I herded the shark into the shallows and then I just sort of jumped on him and put my knees on his fins. I then grabbed him by the neck so he couldn't swing around and bite me. He wasn't that heavy but his skin was very rough, like sandpaper. I just threw him over the edge of the pool into the water and watched him swim away,” she explained, News.com.au reported.

Hatheier has been dubbed "the shark wrangler" by her office colleagues. She joked while speaking on the show that "As a real estate agent I'm used to relocating people and this was similar."
