Man gouges crocodile’s eye to survive attack



CAIRNS: An Australian wildlife ranger has recounted his terrifying escape from the clutches of a “particularly cunning” crocodile, after wrestling with the reptile and sticking a finger in its eye.

Craig Dickmann said a 2.8-meter (nine-foot) crocodile came up from behind him as he was leaving the beach, international media reported.

The 54-year-old said he wrestled with the croc on the remote beach as it tried to drag him into the water. Dickmann stuck his thumb into its eye, saying it was the only “soft spot” he found on the “bullet-proof” animal.
