The 43-year-old, said to be mentally challenged, was transferred to Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) from Serian Hospital yesterday noon for further treatment on his injured left leg.

His sister told reporters at SGH that her brother rushed home naked after being attacked by the crocodile.

“It is quite common to see crocodiles in the river. We keep telling him not to take bath in the river, but he always refuses to listen.”

She said according to villagers who witnessed the attack, the crocodile was “quite big”.
