Broome crocodile attack: Man punches saltie in nose to heroically escape with his life
A Kimberley man has gone toe-to-toe with a saltwater crocodile, punching it in the nose to escape its clutches after being attacked by the reptile while fishing at the weekend, according to a report by the ABC.
On the same afternoon as the much-hyped Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight, the Kimberley man found himself in a bout of his own.
Bardi Jawi rangers told the national broadcaster the man was spearfishing near islands off the One Arm Point remote community when he was attacked by the man-eater.
