Eye for an arm as man saves girl from croc

AN 11-year-old Australian girl was rescued from the jaws of a crocodile by a man who leaped on the reptile and poked it in the eye.

The 11ft saltwater crocodile snatched Hannah Thompson’s arm as she swam in Margaret Bay, north Queensland.

Ray Turner, 57, a crocodile hunter more than 30 years ago, dived from a boat onto the croc’s back when he heard screams.
