SANIBEL, Fla. – A man washing his hands in a Florida pond on Thursday was bitten by an alligator, according to police. The Sanibel Police Department said officers responded to a pond near 2477 Periwinkle Way around 11 a.m. and found the victim.
The man said he was bitten and able to free himself from the alligator before calling 911, according to the department. Police said he had a “serious injury” to his right forearm. Florida Fish and Wildlife officers responded to capture the alligator.
Simply because he was bitten in Florida does not necessarily make him "Florida Man.' Smart money says he is a snowbird who believes the tourist industry slogan: "Florida - the rules are different here!"
