A suspected goat thief reportedly jumped into a crocodile-infested river in his bid to escape an angry mob.

Shadreck Vitto, 23, had been in hiding for three days after stealing four goats in his village of Chikwawa, Southern Malawi, according to a report.

Luck, however, ran out on him when some villagers spotted him in Lazaro Village and engaged him in a hot chase.

They trapped him on the banks of Maperera River, and he was faced with two options — either face the beating or dive into the water and he opted for the second option.

Almost immediately after he jumped in, Shadreck was attacked by two crocodiles that mauled his shoulder and legs.

His screams attracted some good-hearted people who rescued him and rushed him to nearby hospital where his condition was said to be stable.

Talk about being faced by the devil and the deep blue sea and Shadreck's case might just be a perfect illustration.

Thank God, he is still alive and must have learnt his lesson.

I don't know of Malawi, but if this happened in Nigeria...jumping into that river is safer than been burnt alive.
