Gran fights off vicious beast (John Wright, October 12, 2004, news.com.au)

A 60-YEAR-OLD grandmother has been hailed a hero after she took on a 4m, 300kg crocodile to save a friend and his family during an horrific attack.

Alicia Sorohan was camping with family and friends in remote Bathurst Bay, in far north Queensland, when the saltwater beast charged into their campsite at 4am yesterday.

Alerted by screams, Mrs Sorohan and her husband Bill rushed to a nearby tent to find friend Andrew Kerr in the jaws of a crocodile being dragged towards the sea.

Wasn't this Janet Reno's job before she became attorney general?
