NT Parks and Wildlife mentioned Wangi Falls, in Litchfield Nationwide Park, had been closed for swimming this afternoon following the incident.
“Rangers have confirmed a person was attacked by a saltwater crocodile at Wangi Falls this afternoon,” Division of Setting, Parks and Water safety director Dean McAam mentioned.
“It’s estimated the crocodile is roughly two metres lengthy.
“Rangers are working with the Crocodile Administration Workforce to take away the animal.
“Additional crocodile surveys will then be undertaken previous to reopening.”
Entry to the water has been closed for security causes.
Persons are urged to obey all closures.
The person was handled on the scene by an off-duty nurse earlier than ambulances arrived.
He has been taken to hospital for medical therapy.
Prime Finish water spots are usually closed throughout the moist season attributable to saltwater crocodiles shifting alongside the waterways.
They reopen within the winter after rangers have an opportunity to test they’re secure.
