"He's come out of the water like a bloody rocket and headbutted me in the face, then punched the crap out of me," he said."When I stood up, he's given me what I can describe as a flying roundhouse to the back.Ghislaine Maxwell cites fifth Amendment as she declines to answer inquiry"Then my mate got a shovel and hit him with a shovel.Col said he was left with a lot of injuries for "about 25 seconds of work". "I'm very lucky and if I hadn't have rolled onto my stomach I would've been in a lot worse of a way," he said."The ultrasound said it went in about three inches.Wildpro Pest Control managing director Alex Krstic described the situation as "unusual" on the kangaroo's part but "certainly not outside of the realm of what they can do". "You've got to remember these things are wild animals and they'll behave like wild animals," Krstic said."Col is lucky that when he did come close to it that it didn't use its large claw on its rear foot to disembowel him. "That kangaroo was keyed up to fight, the dog left, he obviously identified Col as a threat and let him have it."
