Alligator may have dragged away child at a Disney hotel
Orlando (Florida), Jun 15 (IBNS): Police and other rescue personnel are looking hard for a two-year old kid who has been reportedly attacked and dragged away by an alligator into a lagoon at a Disney hotel near Orlando on Tuesday night, according to media reports.
The incident took place at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, media reported.
Local sources said the father tried to wrestle the alligator but failed.
The two-year old kid had arrived on Sunday with his four-year old sister and parents. The family is from Nebraska.
A dive team with sonar equipment was on standby -- just part of a 50-person rescue team on the scene reported Orlando Sentinel. Parents then alerted a nearby lifeguard that an alligator had attacked the boy. Officials estimated it was between four and seven feet long, reported the Orlando Sentinel.
