A teenager has survived a crocodile attack in Far North Queensland.
The 14-year-old was fishing 100km north of Cairns on Saturday afternoon when he was attacked.
He was flown to Cairns Hospital and was in a stable condition on Sunday night.
The attack happened at Myall Beach at Cape Tribulation, about 4pm on Saturday.
The Cairns Post reports the boy was in a group of three, who were not locals to the area, and were fishing in waist-deep water.
After a reported “death roll”, the boy was taken to a nearby hotel where people tried to treat his leg and abdomen wounds.
“A male teenager with leg and abdominal wounds was airlifted to Cairns Hospital in a stable condition following a reported crocodile attack on a public beach,” a Queensland Ambulance Service spokesperson said.
