Tasmania Police Detective Taneka Starr has assisted a man following a crocodile attack in a swimming hole in the Northern Territory today.
Senior Constable Starr, who is based in the state's north-west, was on holiday swimming with her family in Wangi Falls in Litchfield National Park about 11.30am when fellow onlookers raised the alarm.
"My family and children were swimming in the water when people started yelling for everyone to get out. We formed a circle together to make sure we all made it out of the water safely as a group, especially the children," she said.
"We then saw that a man had suffered injuries to his arm and together my sisters and I provided first aid.
"I'm so glad that everyone was ok. It was a pretty terrifying experience."
