A crocodile is suspected to have taken a 12-year-old boy after attacking his friend as they swam in a water hole on Sunday in a popular Outback tourist destination in northern Australia.

Police believed the missing boy was taken by a crocodile as he and a number of other boys swam at Mudginberri Billabong in World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, southeast of the Northern Territory capital of Darwin, Acting Police Commander Michael White said.

“One other boy, also aged 12, was bitten on the arm by the crocodile and has received medical treatment,” White said.
