Crocodile takes Australian woman during night swim
Witnesses heard the woman yell "a croc's got me", according to reports
A woman is feared dead after a crocodile attack in Australia's Daintree National Park.
The 46-year-old Australian was reportedly swimming with a friend on Sunday evening at Thornton Beach near Cairns in northern Queensland state.
She was in waist-deep water when she was attacked, media reports said.
"Her 47-year-old friend tried to grab her and drag her to safety and she just wasn't able to do that.
"[The friend] then ran to a nearby business and raised the alarm, and from that point police and other authorities were advised.
"They had been walking along the beach and they've decided to go for a swim just in waist-deep water at Thornton Beach and probably a very nice, clear night, but obviously may not have been aware of the dangers."
A search for the missing woman resumed on Monday morning. Her friend is being treated for a graze and shock.
