A
tourist has been attacked by a
Komodo dragon in
Indonesia.
Lon Lee Alle, from
Singapore, was severely injured by a bite to his left leg, witnesses said.
The 50-year-old backpacker was reportedly visiting Komodo National Park in East Nusa Tenggara, the country's southernmost province, when the incident occurred on Wednesday.
Mr Alle was watching several of the large lizards eating pigs and goats belonging to villagers when he approached the animals to take photographs, according to local media.
He reportedly ignored repeat warnings from villagers that he should not get too close to the dangerous creatures.
