12 foot alligator attacks a naked man on crack

AlligatorLakeland, Florida — Police say a 45-year-old man was naked and high on crack cocaine when he was rescued by four deputies from the jaws of a nearly 12-foot alligator.

Adrian Apgar is in critical condition with an apparent broken right arm, leg injuries and his left arm hanging by a tendon.

One of the deputies says he pulled Apgar's arms while the gator gripped his lower half. The reptile loosened his jaws. When he thought the victim was free, the animal lunged again.
