Two People Attacked by Crocodile in Florida Canal

Two people were attacked by a crocodile in a Coral Gables canal early Sunday morning. The victims, Alejandro Jimenez and Lisset Rendon, were jumping in the canal around 2 a.m. while partying at a friend’s home in the 1300 block of Lugo Avenue. Before they realized what was happening, the croc which was described between eight and nine feet long, attacked. The couple made it out safely with help from other people at the party. They were transported to and treated at South Miami Hospital where they were later released.
