A crocodile that attacked a fisherman in Cairns has been captured after it was found in a suburban drain.
The first reported crocodile sighting in the city in a year, the 2.4m saltwater reptile was caught after a five day search after it lunged at a local fisherman.
Joel Pezzuti was casting for bait in a drain two weeks ago when the crocodile lunged at him, managing to tear a massive hole into his net.
