NT: Man taken by crocodile in NT river
A 22-year-old man has been killed by a saltwater crocodile in a Northern Territory river.
The men's two friends have told police the four-metre croc dragged their friend BRETT
MANN under the Finniss River at 5pm (CST) on Sunday.
Darwin police sergeant ERICA SIMS says the trio had been trail bike riding in the area,
about 80km from Darwin and Mr MANN had waded into the river to clean his trail bike.
His two 19-year-old mates were washing down their bikes on the river bank when Mr MANN
was taken by the crocodile.
Sgt SIMS says Mr MANN'S horrified mates could only watch helplessly as the attack took place.
