A 60-year-old man is in hospital in the Northern Territory after being bitten on the arm by a crocodile during a cruise on the Adelaide River.
St John Ambulance officials took a triple zero call after the incident on Monday and sent a crew to rendezvous with the victim and those helping him.
But they said by the time the crew arrived the man had been taken to the Palmerston Hospital in a private car.
NT Health said on Tuesday the man was in a stable condition but would not provide further details on the nature of his injuries.
Reports suggested the crocodile was three to four metres long and the bite resulted in heavy bleeding.
Work safety group NT Worksafe was also believed to be investigating the incident.
The Adelaide River, about an hour from Darwin, is well known for its jumping crocodile cruises where the animals are lured out of the water with food.
