A TEENAGER who fought off a crocodile by punching it in the eye revealed he had leapt into the reptile-infested river as a dare to impress a pretty backpacker he’d just met.
Lee De Paauw, 18, managed to escape the jaws of a crocodile, which was believed to be up to 3m long, by punching it in the head repeatedly as British backpacker Sophie Paterson, 24, looked on, unable to help as the attack unfolded.
“I just wanted to show the backpacker. I got her number and her name is Sophie,” Lee, who suffered serious arm and leg injuries in the 30-second attack, told Sydney Nova radio today from his hospital bedside.
Lee had jumped into the Johnstone River at Innisfail in Far North Queensland and was swimming back to a jetty “when the croc grabbed my arm, dragged me back out and started rolling”.
“It took me out about six metres from the wharf. I hit it once on the nose, it loosened a bit.
“I got another hit in and it was right on its eye. I was lucky because it just dropped me.”
Ms Paterson revealed Lee just jumped into the water after midnight yesterday after earlier bragging about being able to swim in the crocodile infested area.
“He was talking about the local creek saying ‘I can swim out’ and so we said, ‘go on then’, but we didn’t think he would do it,” she said.
Ms Paterson said she and her friends had met Mr De Paauw a few hours earlier over drinks at the local hostel where she was staying.
“He sort of made this claim ‘I’ll swim out and back’, (and) at first we just said ‘don’t be so ridiculous’ and didn’t think he was going to go through with it,’’ she said.
“It all happened very fast, pretty much as soon as he jumped in, there was splashing and screaming.”
Ms Paterson said the teenager managed to pull himself from the water while she yelled at her friends to call an ambulance.
“There was blood everywhere and he just wouldn’t stop screaming,’’ she said.
“I thought he had lost his arm because of how bad it looked.”
Paramedics rushed Mr De Paauw, who suffered lacerations and multiple fractures, to Innisfail Hospital where he was stabilised.
He was then taken to Cairns Hospital where he underwent surgery on his left arm. The surgery is understood to have been successful.
Ms Paterson said she arrived in Innisfail last Wednesday and while she was aware there were crocodiles had “no idea how *serious it was”.
“I know he’s a local and probably knew the area better but I can’t help but feel for him,’’ she said.
The attack comes in the midst of renewed debate about a proposal to cull crocodile populations in northern Queensland.
Whitsunday MP Jason Costigan said most locals would know not to jump into the Johnstone River.
“Most people have got common sense ... we can’t legislate to protect dickheads, but we need to be protecting the community, public safety and our tourism reputation are priority,” he said.
A Department of Environment and Heritage Protection spokesman confirmed the crocodile was being targeted for capture and removal.

Throw her back to the crocodile to finish his meal, it's rude to interrupt.
