A human chain of villagers pulled a hunter from the jaws of a crocodile in north-eastern Zimbabwe, state media reported yesterday.
Letikuku Sidumbu, 32, was attacked while trying to cross the swollen Mubvinzi river in the Goromonzi district, about 25 miles east of the capital, Harare, during a hunting expedition with his uncle.
As the crocodile clenched its jaws on his right arm, villagers tugged him from its grip in a struggle that also left the hunter with a broken leg and chest and stomach injuries, Mr Sidumbu told the state Herald newspaper from his hospital bed in Harare.
