[NYPOST] Forty crocodiles killed a Cambodian farmer today while he was attempting to wrangle one of his reptiles.
The "crocodiles pounced, attacking him until he was dead," Mey Savry — police chief of Siem Reap commune, where the man’s farm was located — told Viral Press of the freak accident.
The 72-year-old victim, named Luan Nam, had reportedly entered the enclosure so he could remove one of the crocs from a cage where it had laid eggs.
Things took a disastrous turn after the beast "attacked the stick" he was using to corral it, "causing him to fall into the enclosure," according to Savry.
All of a sudden, the reptile shepherd was beset by dozens of the animals, which ripped his body to shreds, leaving the paddock awash in blood.
