A MAN who was attacked by an alligator
after fleeing police in Florida says he was
in a fight for his life.
Bryan Zuniga, 20, told Tampa Bay's Fox
13 News that he was swimming and trying
to hide when a the alligator lunged at him.
Zuniga says he was nearly knocked
unconscious when the alligator's mouth hit
his head. He fought back with both legs
and the arm not caught between the
animal's jaws.
"I thought I was going to die," he told Fox
13 News.
"The moment the gator's mouth hit my
head, I almost got knocked out. But my
will to live kept me conscious and I fought
back."
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office says
Zuniga ran away and into a water
treatment plant after being pulled over by
deputies on Thursday. He was later found
at a hospital being treated for puncture
wounds to the face and arm area.
He has been charged with fleeing police.
