A GROUP of women were shaken but unharmed when a three-metre crocodile attacked their boat, the ABC reported today.
The women were competing in a fishing competition in the Northern Territory on the weekend when the crocodile launched itself out of the water and hit the boat.
One of the women, Toni Flouse, said the crocodile hit the boat hard enough to leave “battle scars” on the vessel.
“He looked like he was aiming for (one of the women on the boat), that’s for sure,” Ms Flouse told the ABC.
No one on the boat was harmed but the women were shaken, Ms Flouse said, worried the reptile could have knocked them into the water.
“It got a bit crazy to be honest – a little bit of swearing and panic,” Ms Flouse said.
“We were beside ourselves, honestly. It was quite scary.”
