A crocodile was spotted in the middle of the road in front of a prominent hotel on Marine Drive in Colombo late last evening.
The reptile, which is small in size, is reported to have entered the road from the coast on the opposite side of the hotel.
It was seen snapping at passing vehicles and attempting to run in the direction of the hotel, while also being run over by some vehicles.
However, a brave citizen of Sri Lanka stepped in to save the reptile, by dragging it by its tail and flipping it over back towards the ocean. (NewsWire)
