‘Such a stupid thing’

Paramedics rushed to the scene and discovered the tourist had suffered serious bites to his right arm and leg, according to reports. He was quickly transported to Dr. George T. Hofer Memorial Hospital, where doctors treated his wounds with more than 50 stitches, The Manila Bulletin confirmed, per People.

Jie, who captured the incident on video, said: “I don’t know why he would do such a stupid thing, but I’m glad the man is alive, and the crocodile just let him go. His leg wasn’t broken, but he suffered arm and thigh wounds.”

‘Poor Lalay’

Meanwhile, members of the online community are voicing their outrage – not just over the man’s reckless stunt, but over the fact that his actions put the crocodile’s life at risk, sparking a wave of concern for the animal’s safety and well-being.

“Poor Lalay! I hope she is ok! Imagine chilling and minding your own business when a waste of oxygen thinks they can do what they please to you and then having a cement block slammed on your head. Some humans are just that a waste,” writes one user.
