man is attacked by alligator in Florida lake
Juan Carlos La Verde, a firefighter and paramedic, was attacked by an alligator in a Florida lake while filming a promotional video for a race his company was hosting
Drone footage revealed the moment a 12-foot alligator swam towards La Verde, 34, clamped its jaws around his head and chest
Incredibly, La Verde fought back, forced open the reptile's mouth and escaped back to the dock where he called 911 himself
A bystander came to his aid and drove him to hospital where he underwent a six-hour surgery to his face and skull
