Whale trapped in Monterey Harbor for several hours

A Minke whale became trapped underneath a Monterey Harbor boat slip for about three hours on Tuesday evening.

According to Coast Guard officials, they were finally able to free the whale, along with the help of Monterey firefighters, police, NOAA and the Whale Entanglement Team.

The whale was bleeding from scrapes, but is expected to be okay.

It eventually swam back into the ocean and was monitored by Coast Guard crews for several hours.
