A man was accidentally shot in the arm after a rescuer tried to free him from the jaws of a crocodile in Northern Australia.
Police said Jason Grant was collecting crocodile eggs near a popular tourist spot on the Mary River, near Darwin, when he was attacked by the reptile.
A fellow who saw the incident, got his gun and fired two shots at the saltwater crocodile, one hitting the croc, the other hitting Grant in the arm
A helicopter was immediately dispatched to bring Grant to a hospital.
