A 45-year-old crocodile handler named Tao had put his arm right into the jaws of a crocodile for a daring stunt as part of a show at Phokkathara Crocodile Farm in Thailand. It soon became clear that something was wrong as he asked the announcer to stop the music.

The croc suddenly closed its jaws around Tao's arm and began to shake him violently. Tao managed to extract his arm from the predator but he was clearly badly injured as blood dripped from his injured arm onto the tiled floor.

Tao staggered away, leaving the audience worried for his safety. Dong Wittawat, the crocodile farm's owner has since made a statement in which he assured the press that Tao is doing fine.

He said: 'He was was treated at the farm with bandaging. He loves crocodiles and he will be working again soon in the next two weeks. It is very rare for this to happen.'

A braver man than us...
