A nine-year-old child was airlifted to Darwin hospital in a critical condition after being bitten by a crocodile in a national park on the weekend.
Careflight NT responded to a call about 9pm on Saturday near Jabiru, Kakadu's main township.
The young boy was transported to the community health centre and treated by a doctor before being airlifted to Royal Darwin Hospital in a critical but stable condition.
St John's Ambulance confirmed it assisted with the hand-over of the injured child.
CareFlight could not provide further details of the boy's condition.
NT Health said it was attempting to get family consent to provide a condition update.
