A swimmer narrowly escapes death after a crocodile attacks him in a murky lagoon. A cell phone clip shows onlookers shouting to draw the man's attention to the crocodile.
As the man reaches the shore, the crocodile lunges at him, apparently clutching his shorts and pulling him backwards, according to eyewitnesses.
