Florida Woman Hospitalized After Being Bitten by Alligator

A Florida woman had to be airlifted to the hospital after being bitten by an alligator on Saturday.

Witnesses said a group of about a dozen people were swimming in a lake near Fay Lake Wilderness Park in Port Saint John on Saturday afternoon when the woman was bitten.

According to witnesses, soon after the attack, they saw what looked to be an eight to ten-foot-long alligator in the water.

β€œNext thing you know, we pull her out and her side and her thigh were open,” said Dave Nygard, a witness. β€œSince then, about thirty seconds later, I saw a gator head pop up.”

The woman was airlifted to a nearby hospital.

Her condition is not clear.
