Officials said that Helena Kuto, 60, was gardening near a pond in her back yard when the gator named "Henry" jumped out of the water and ripped her arm off.

Kuto was rushed to Tampa Hospital but her condition was not known.

A trapper reportedly located the woman's arm after finding the alligator at the bottom of the pond.

The arm was retrieved from the animal and sent to the hospital but there is no information on whether doctors will be able to save her arm.
