"A fisherman has said he feels &amp;quot;very lucky&amp;quot; to be alive after he wrestled with a crocodile underwater. Frenchman Yoann Galeran, 28, was swimming in the North Coast, Australia yesterday (April 21) when he was ambushed by the saltwater crocodile, but returned to work just hours after the incident. The animal was estimated to be 2.5 metres (8 feet) in length. Speaking to ABC News, Galeran said that the creature &amp;quot;went straight away to the top of [his] head&amp;quot; as it attempted to drown him with a move known as the death roll. &amp;quot;It was going so fast,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Everything happened in less than five seconds and then I fell free.&amp;quot; Galeran managed to punch the crocodile as he was dragged underwater, escaping from the beast&amp;#039;s grip. &amp;quot;I just feel that I&amp;#039;ve been lucky and I just think [if it was] a bigger crocodile, I maybe wouldn&amp;#039;t have any head,&amp;quot; he stated. Galeran, born in the French city of Avignon, needed stitches for bite wounds to his head, neck and shoulders. However, he was back to work at the fishery the next day (April 22). Rangers from the Northern Territory confirmed they were now laying a trap to catch the crocodile at the site of the attack. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
