On 20 August 2019, an incident occurred when an elderly man was bitten by an old man during a party indoors. During a cancer event organized by a men's club, the man gave a speech and then climbed up a ledge next to the fence of a crocodile cube. To keep his balance, he held a glass plate that separates the fence from the audience and stuck his hand above the glass, causing the crocodile to jump up and bite the man. The man was bandaged and taken to hospital, but the hospital assessed his condition as stable.
