A beach brawl turned a fast one when a man used a mini-alligator to fight his opponent.
The man, who was wearing a dark blue polo shirt and a black cap, was fighting with another man in khaki pants and without a top. He tried to use a Caiman to attack his opponent.
The two were engaged in a tussle at Macumba beach on the west side Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
A lifeguard wearing a yellow and red shirt made a call to the police and tried to end the fight. The man in blue thrust the caiman forwards at his naked-chested opponent.
While the two men fought, a black and a white dog ran wild in a frenzy.
The caiman was reportedly later captured by firefighters who set it free in the city’s municipal park.
