An 11-year-old girl from Zimbabwe wrestled a crocodile and gouged its eyes out to save her friend from the reptile’s clutches.

Latoya Muwani, 9, was attacked by the croc while in a stream, The Sunday News of Bulawayo reported.

So her pal, Rebecca Munkombwe, jumped on top of the animal and “started beating it with my bare hands before using my fingers to poke its eyes until it released her,” she told the paper.

A Halloween partier dressed up as Jesus allegedly suckerpunc­hed a police officer in front of a California bar.

The faux messiah approached cops as they were arresting another bargoer and hit one of the officers in the face. The cop suffered a one-inch cut to the face that required several stitches.

The costumed creep ran off and was described as “a white male, 6 to 6-foot-2, in a white robe, red sash, possibly with a fake beard and wig.”

Musician Stephen Morris — who has recorded with Stevie Wonder and David Bowie — left his 310-year-old violin worth more than $300,000 on a bus.

A person was caught on security footage grabbing the forgotten instrument — but later agreed to return it during a hand-off in a parking lot.

Police said they won’t be pressing any charges since the guy did the “gentlemanl­y” thing, giving back the violin.

About 300 swingers at a club in Germany had to be evacuated when a carbon monoxide alarm went off mid-party.

Clad in bathrobes, the randy partiers — some of whom reported feeling unwell — left the club in Hattingen and were taken on buses to be checked out by first responders.

He struck gold — twice! A Massachuse­tts man won $1 million in the lottery for the second time in a year and a half.

Rolf Rhodes won his $1 million jackpot last May with a $10 instant game, opting to take a one-time payment of $650,000. On Wednesday, the Mendon man had won his second $1 million with a different “Instant Jackpot” game.
