Michal Newman, who was intoxicated, climbed into its pen, claiming he wanted to play with it. Newman is now in Broome Hospital, Western Australia after his skirmish with the crocodile which occurred on Monday night at the Broome Crocodile Park. "I thought to myself, 'Well, I will jump the fence and go from behind its tail and pat it and sit on its back'," Newman told ABC Radio today.
