Video from WKMG-TV shows a Florida Fish and Wildlife trapper putting the 8-foot (2-meter) gator in the back of a truck. The feisty, tied-up alligator lashed out and head-butted the trapper. The trapper fell to the ground as police and another trapper worked to get the gator back inside the truck.
Neighbors say the alligator was walking through front yards before trappers arrived.
There was no word on the trapper’s condition.
The alligator was eventually taken away.
