AN INDONESIAN worker freed himself from an attacking Komodo dragon by punching the reptile's snout until it released him and ran away, a national park official said on Monday. Agustinus Jenaru, 20, was working inside an unfinished wooden bungalow on Rinca island when the two metre lizard entered and bit onto his left hand on Saturday, said Komodo National Park official Daniel Bolu Ngongo. Mr Jenaru hit the jaws of the giant lizard for several seconds until it freed him. Mr Jenaru was taken to a clinic for treatment of lacerations and a puncture wound.
