The giant reptile can be seen in a video being secured around the jaws by Mr Usman, who, like many Indonesians, goes by one name. Mr Usman said it had been roaming the area for at least two days, frightening the inhabitants.

"There are also drainage channels around the roads here, places where locals fish. It would have been dangerous if it had crawled up the drainage channels.

Some even consider it a heroic act, because it saved many people who could have become victims," said Mr Umar Siddiq Al Farizi.
