A Florida fisherman experienced a horrifying encounter at a golf course pond recently when a massive alligator attacked him, tearing off his hand as bystanders watched in shock. Witness Ron Priest recounted the harrowing moment, saying, “While the guy was on the ground ... the gator got the guy in the hand, and the two rolled.”
The nine-foot reptile then retreated into the water, leaving the angler badly injured. Witnesses immediately called 911, with one reporting, “There is a gator attacking a man in my backyard!” Emergency responders swiftly airlifted the injured fisherman to a hospital in Orlando, while wildlife officials trapped and removed the aggressive alligator from the pond.
