Miami Beach police got quite the surprise Sunday when they discovered an alligator in their waters.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission worked alongside Miami Beach officers to rescue the alligator, which was discovered struggling in the water near the South Pointe Jetty just before 10 a.m., officials said.

It took authorities several hours to safely capture the gator which was given over to a trapper.
