A Danish backpacker has had a lucky escape after accidentally “body slamming” a crocodile in Western Australia.
Johnny Bonde was treated in hospital for deep cuts to his right arm after the animal attacked him at Lake Kununurra on Friday.
The 27-year-old told The West Australian he had spotted the freshwater crocodile in the water and had perched on the bank to take photographs of it before losing his footing.
He said: “Next thing I know I’m sliding down the bank and then I just toppled over and landed straight on top of the croc.
“He got a pretty good grip on me and shook me around a bit.
“There was just splashing and I could feel a bit of pain in my arm. It wasn’t that bad though – I was more shocked than anything.”
