Jonathan Bruney, a 31-year-old triathlete, was swimming in the Savannah River, South Carolina, when he was attacked by an alligator. The creature latched onto his right arm, but Bruney managed to escape by pushing his thumb into the alligator's eye, forcing it to release him. Fellow triathletes used a cord from a swim buoy as a makeshift tourniquet to stop the bleeding until emergency services arrived. Bruney was treated for a four-to-five-inch gash on his arm and is expected to recover fully.
