Elderly woman escapes croc attack while fishing in Melaka

ALOR GAJAH – An elderly woman had a terrifying moment when she was nearly swallowed by a crocodile while fishing for freshwater prawns in the waters off Sg Timun, Lubok Cina, last Friday.

Alor Gajah district police chief Arshad Abu said in the incident at around 4pm, the victim, Nurkaisa Ausad, 65, from Linggi, Negri Sembilan, was bitten by the crocodile on her ankle, and also suffered head injuries while trying to save herself.

“From the police report lodged on Monday by the victim’s son, Muhammad Omar, 24, the complainant received a telephone call from his mother’s friend informing him that his mother had been attacked by the crocodile while out with fishermen in the said waters.

“When his mother wanted to get out of the boat to catch the freshwater prawns nearby, she was suddenly attacked by the crocodile,” he said in a statement here today.

Elaborating further, Arshad said the victim then struggled before managing to free herself from the reptilian assailant.

Arshad said after successfully saving herself from the crocodile, the woman injured herself on the head when she hit the edge of the boat.

“The other fishermen in the area then rescued the victim, bringing her ashore. They sent the victim to Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital in Seremban, Negri Sembilan.

“The woman is now in stable condition and the case has been referred to the [peninsular Wildlife and National Parks Department] for further action,” he added. – September 6, 2023
