In Florida, an alligator attacked a fisherman and bit off his arm on a golf course.
The alligator, about three meters long, pounced on a man who was trying to pull a fish he had caught out of the water. It grabbed the angler’s arm and bit off his hand.
Eyewitnesses immediately called the emergency services and reported the incident. The victim was taken by helicopter to a hospital in the city of Orlando.
Employees of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were forced to sedate the alligator that attacked the man.
