The 54-year-old said he wrestled with the croc on the remote beach as it tried to drag him into the water. After a few minutes, he said he managed to get on top of the croc and pin its jaws shut. "And then, I think both the croc and I had a moment where we're going, 'well, what do we do now?'" Dickmann said he then pushed the croc away from him and it slid back into the water. "The area is known croc country and people in the area are reminded to always be crocwise,” the department said in a statement.
