Tourist chased by crocodile

A tourist was chased by a crocodile in Mexico.

The unnamed man was taking a swim in a stretch of water in Sian Ka'an when spectators noticed the huge reptile swimming towards him.

Footage of the terrified swimmer fleeing from the reptile as it advanced through the water was caught on camera by Manuel Cerrara, reports The Mirror newspaper.

Locals and fellow tourists were seen screaming at the man to warn him of the crocs presence, with one onlooker even throwing objects in the water to distract the man-eater from its prey.
