Deputies said an 8-foot-long alligator that was spotted on a Louisiana highway on June 10 took a bite out of their patrol car before it got away.

The officers responded to the middle of Highway 1 in north Caddo Parish after receiving a report the reptile was loitering in the area. They tried to contain the animal before wildlife experts arrived but it wasn’t going to have any of it.
