The deputies reported that the alligator was "safely relocated" to a location in South Florida following its "control and capture." This incident occurred just days after an "agitated" alligator attacked a farm worker, as shared by the Martin County Sheriff's Office on Facebook. "One didn't see the other, until it was too late. But fortunately for the local pepper farm worker, the bite taken out of his leg by an angry gator is not life threatening. The experience however, is a different story." "The worker was clearly focused on his farm work when an agitated gator lurking in the field along 96th Street in Palm City lunged and grabbed hold of the man. The gator grabbed the side of the workers thigh causing a significant injury with puncture wounds. The victim did break free and was able to get away," the post further said. The alligator, measuring over nine feet in length, was removed from the area. Also read | Where’s Wally?
