Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 51746, member: 636"] Dennis Karon employed a desperate survival tactic when a crocodile seized him during a fishing expedition at Loagan Tebabui in Marudi yesterday afternoon. The 39-year-old man jabbed the reptile directly in its eye to break free from its deadly grip. Emergency responders transported Karon to medical facilities after he sustained a fractured right arm and head injuries. Civil Defence Force personnel received the distress call at 4:38 pm and reached the victim by 5:30 pm at Kampung Benawa ferry wharf. Medical staff later transferred him to Miri Hospital for advanced treatment. The fishing trip began peacefully at 10 am when Karon joined his elder brother and another villager on their boat journey across from their village. The group paused for refreshments along the riverbank before preparing their nets for the afternoon catch. Bubbles surfaced near their vessel, which the fishermen mistook for active fish beneath the water. Both brothers plunged into the lake when their casting net became entangled on underwater obstacles. Panic struck when Karon failed to resurface while his brother emerged safely from the murky water. Village residents have witnessed similar reptile encounters on three previous occasions according to Karon's niece, Nurul Hidayah Raffelisia Abdullah. Each attack survivor managed their escape through the identical eye-poking technique that Karon employed during his ordeal. The remote fishing location continues to present dangers for local communities who depend on aquatic resources for their livelihoods. [/QUOTE]
