NORTHERN Territory police are searching for a man who is believed to have been snatched by a crocodile.
Senior Sergeant Peter Lindfield says police received reports about 4pm (CST) on Saturday that the 24-year-old had been attacked by a crocodile while he swam at Mary River, about 110km from Darwin.
"Officers from the Water Police Section and Territory Response Group are currently at the scene of the attack and are searching for the man and the crocodile," Sergeant Lindfield said in a statement.
An employee at the Mary River Wilderness Retreat says the man and a friend had ignored warnings not to go in the water.
"Two local boys decided to go swimming, we tell people to stay away from the water, they obviously went against this (and) a man was taken," Erin Bayard told News Corp Australia.
"We say to everybody it's full of crocs.
"It's one of the most populated rivers in the Territory, every couple of kilometres there is a large croc."
A police spokeswoman told AAP that officers and wildlife rangers would search through the night.
