Australian man jumped on crocodile's back, gouged eyes to rescue his wife


A man rescued his wife from the jaws of a crocodile in remote northern Australia by jumping on its head and poking its eyes, the couple said Thursday.

Wendy Petherick, 36, was standing at the riverbank when a 2.5-meter (8-foot) crocodile grabbed her leg and pulled her into the water. She pulled on its jaw to try to free herself as she shouted for her husband, Norm Moreen.
