A CROCODILE attacked a woman at a popular Territory tourist spot yesterday evening.

The woman's husband jumped on the croc's back forcing it to release his 36-year-old wife.

They were swimming at Bamboo Creek Crossing in Litchfield National Park, 160km southwest of Darwin about 5.30pm when the attack happened.

After her partner tackled the 2.5m predator, it released the woman and swam into a concrete culvert.
