Elderly Florida Man Attacked by Gator

An elderly man was attacked by an alligator in Florida but didn't have serious injuries.

Polk County Sheriff's Office spokesman Brian Bruchey says the alligator attacked the man's foot near a lake in Lakeland, Florida on Monday.

Bruchey says the man was taken to a hospital as a precautionary measure.

Officers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were searching for the alligator at the lake in a retirement community.
