A child was hospitalized following an alligator attack in Florida. The minor was swimming in a restricted area of a nature reserve at the time, Fox News reported.
An alligator measuring approximately three meters bit the child on the arms and legs. The victim and others nearby were unable to reach the shore on their own, as they were cut off from the sandbar.
Firefighters and wildlife officials arrived at the scene. Rescuers reached the group via airboat and administered first aid. The individuals were brought to shore, and the teenager was hospitalized. Authorities report that the injuries are not life-threatening. The story was reported by Gazeta.ru.
Previously, US police struggled to subdue a 200-kilogram alligator. The predator had been roaming the street at night.
