Saint in Paradise Posted 13 July, 2010 Share Posted 13 July, 2010 (edited) Drunk man attempts wild ride on croc A drunk man has been bitten on the leg after trying to ride a 5m salt water croc named Fatso in Australia. The man, who had earlier been turfed out of a Broome tavern for being drunk, told police he climbed into Fatso's enclosure at a local crocodile park because he wanted to give him a pat. "He made his way into the crocodile park and then climbed into the compound with a large, male 5m salt water croc named Fatso," Sergeant Roger Haynes told AAP. "He has attempted to sit on its back and the croc has taken offence to that and has spun around and bit him on the right leg. "For an unknown reason, the crocodile has let him go and he's managed to scale the fence and exit the park." He made his way back to the nearby tavern to get help. Sgt Haynes said the man, who was not a local, was extremely lucky to be alive. "No person in their right mind would try to sit on a 5m crocodile," he said. "We do know he's from the eastern states and he doesn't seem to have a very good understanding of the nature of salt water crocs in the Kimberley." He said the 36-year-old had some "very nasty lacerations" and would spend some time in hospital, as croc wounds are prone to infection. "Salt water crocodiles ... once they get hold of you, are not renowned for letting you go. He's lucky to have escaped with his life." http://nz.news.yahoo.com/a/-/world/7574943/drunk-man-attempts-wild-ride-on-croc/:lol: Edited 13 July, 2010 by Saint in Paradise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
