When pulled, the net got caught so the victim got down and walked to the middle of the river. The victim was shocked because suddenly a crocodile appeared and attacked the victim. “It was submerged for several minutes. His colleagues panicked and ran to seek help from residents,” he said.
The crocodile surfaced and bit the victim’s thigh, which appeared to no longer be moving.”
