Authorities in Louisiana say a man suspected of driving while impaired is attacked by an alligator while trying to evade police. Multiple outlets report that the suspect runs from officers during a chase in St. Charles Parish, after which he jumps into a swamp area. Body-worn camera footage described by several sources shows the alligator moving toward him and thrashing while he is in the water. The incident leaves the suspect injured, including injuries to his arms, though reports vary in how they describe the severity. After the attack, officers are able to locate and arrest the man, who is charged in connection with driving while impaired. One outlet identifies him as Victor Rivas and describes the sequence as beginning with a crash into a concrete barrier before the suspect flees on foot into the swamp. Several sources note that local bodycam footage was later shared online. The reports agree on the core timeline: a DWI suspect attempts to flee police, enters a swamp, is attacked by an alligator captured on bodycam, and is eventually taken into custody despite injuries.
