Bystander Rescues Woman After Alligator Snatches Her Hand

Lindsay Bull was taken to a hospital after an 8- foot creature grabbed her hand during feeding.

Her plan is to go back to work at the petting zoo in West Valley City, Utah now that her hand has been operated on.

A video shows the alligator getting out of the water and traveling to a concrete ledge. So, she attempted to move it back into the water.

A guest at a reptile centre jumped into the enclosure to rescue a handler pulled in by an alligator.

The staff member was taken to the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, according to local media reports.

When she opened the door to the tank, the alligator lunged. After trying to wave him away with her hand, the gator snatched it. She leaped into the water while her hand was still in the animal’s mouth. The animal rolled around and Bull rolled around with it.

Donnie Wiseman, a customer, leaped in and jumped on the reptiles back. Then, Todd Christopher, another customer opened the door and pulled Bull to safety.

The two men and her calmness saved her life.
