OLD TOWN SPRING, Texas -- An ABC-13 viewer-submitted video shows an alligator biting a man during a demonstration at the Texas Crawfish and Music Festival Saturday in Old Town Spring.

Monique Gongora's video, though grainy, clearly shows the tense moments before and chaotic scene after the animal latched onto one of the men taking part in the demonstration.

Gator Country out of Beaumont confirms to Eyewitness News that video was of a demonstration they held at the festival on Saturday. There's no word on the man's condition, but from the look of the video, the man was not seriously injured.
