July 14, (THAINDIAN NEWS) It was a real pain and embarrassment for a drunkard who wanted to go on a ride with a crocodile! The incident so happened on Monday night when a drunk man climbed a fence to get to a 16 foot-saltwater crocodile at a crocodile park and decided to try to ride it. The crocodile however spun around and bit him on his right leg but then it did not do anything else that could have fatally injured the victim.
The incident happened in Broom of north Western Australia where a 36 year old man came on a vacation from New South Wales State. He became drop dead drunk in a bar on Monday night and was asked by the authorities to leave the pub, the man after moving out of the place climbed the Broome Crocodile Park in remote Northwest Australia because he wanted to give the crocodile named ‘Fatso’ inside a pat on his back. Broome Police Sgt.Roger Haynes said that the man had attempted to sit on the back of Fatso and the “croc” took the offense to that and had spun around to bite him on his right leg.
The Police officials were however surprised to see that ‘Fatso’ did let the man go with the minimal injury! As the saltwater crocodiles are “renowned” for not letting one go after getting hold of their prey. The Police also said that the man suffered some “nasty lacerations” and was taken to the hospital immediately by the zoo officials. Roger Haynes also said that the man was intoxicated and when he was rescued with pieces of his body “missing”.
