PORT CHARLOTTE — A homeless man was injured after he was bitten several times by a 9-foot alligator at a retention pond Monday morning, authorities said.

News outlets report Frederic Iman, 68, was attacked around 10:20 a.m. in a pond at Kings Highway and Suncoast Boulevard in Port Charlotte and was airlifted to Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers with injuries to his leg, foot and groin. He is listed in fair condition.

Authorities say Iman is homeless and was taking a bath in the pond when he was bitten.

The gator was removed from the pond and was later euthanized, authorities said.
