A vigilante alligator caught the man after cops couldn’t catch him. The Pinellas Park police should recognize the gator with some kind of award for taking a bite out of crime. He wouldn’t appreciate a nice plaque, but how about 20 pounds of fresh meat.

PINELLAS PARK, Florida — The man attacked by an alligator after fleeing police in Florida this week said Friday that he ran into a fight for his life with the reptile.
Bryan Zuniga, 20, told Tampa Bay's Fox 13 News on Friday that he was swimming and trying to hide when a 6-to-8-foot gator lunged at him.
Zuniga said he was nearly knocked unconscious when the gator's mouth hit his head. He fought back with both legs and the arm got caught between the alligator's jaws.
The Pinellas County, Fla. Sheriff's Office said Zuniga ran away and into a water treatment plant after being pulled over by deputies on Thursday. He was later found at a hospital being treated for puncture wounds to the face, arm and armpit area.
Zuniga has been charged with eluding police.
