A Florida woman was left seriously injured by an alligator while swimming in a lake.
A holiday weekend swim turned frightening when a woman was seriously injured and airlifted to a local hospital after being attacked by an alligator in Brevard County, Florida, on Saturday afternoon.
"We're hanging out about waist to chest deep in the lake, next thing you know a girl starts screaming and luckily a couple guys reacted and grab her," eyewitness Dave Nygard told ABC News."I thought she was more or less joking around ... next thing you know we pull her out and her side and her thigh was open. So then about 30 seconds later I see a gator head pop up. It was every bit of 8 foot.
"We have a female who was allegedly bit by an alligator. She was out in the woods, swimming in a lake, from what we understand," Brevard County Fire District Chief Thomas Uzel said."She was classified as a trauma alert and she was transported to Holmes [Regional Medical Center].""I mean, it's scary," Nygard said."Just thankful a little kid wasn't in the lake at the time, because more or less the gator probably would've gotten the kid.
