A spearfisherman who was mauled by a four-and-a-half-metre long crocodile shoved his fingers into the animal's eyes to break free of its grip.
The 44-year-old man was attacked by the reptile while he was swimming at a headland in Queensland, Australia, last Saturday.
Despite being bitten three times and dragged below the water's surface, the man managed to free himself by gouging the croc's eyes repeatedly.
