Four swimmers have been injured in dolphin attacks on a beach in central Japan, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), quoting officials.

One man, in his 60s, suffered broken ribs and bites to his hands after a dolphin rammed him a few metres off Suishohama beach in the town of Mihama, Fukui prefecture, early on Sunday, said the BBC report.

Another man, in his 40s, sustained arm bites in a separate incident on the popular beach the same morning.

Two more people were injured by the mammals later in the day, the port added.
