Crocodile tear off from 7-year-old’s arm during a British fishing trip in South Africa

A “monster” crocodile attacked a seven-year-old boy while fishing in a river near the British town of South Africa and tore off his left arm. His father and some others jumped into the water, saving him from the deadly chin of the crocodile, but the reptile was able to bite the child’s arm and disappear into the water.

Johandre Blom fished with his family and friends at the Rud Cowhide Dam on the UK Crocodile River on March 21, in the tragic accident. He and his friend Dylan sat near the bank when the crocodile attacked him.

When Dylan notices the crocodile attacks Johandre, he yells and insists that he tries to pull him out.
The survivor’s father, Corne, jumped into the river and grabbed his son. At that time, the crocodile began the death roll, a circular motion used by reptiles to tear the victims apart.

Corne described the crocodile as a “monster” and soon joined three other adults, including Dylan’s father, Jannie Bekker. They manage to rescue the boy but find Johandre bleeding heavily and missing his left arm.

Dylan, Corne and others returned to the river to search for the missing arms, but there was no sign. The crocodile also disappeared into the muddy waters. A rescue ship used to conduct searches attacked Johandre’s crocodile. However, rescuers also failed to find Johandre’s arm. JoHandre is receiving treatment in a hospital where he is unconscious. The doctor described his condition as stable.
