    A soldier has head, chest and arm injuries after being mauled by a crocodile that also attacked an Army colleague who went to his aid in far north Queensland


    Both are being treated in the Cairns hospital after the reptile attacked them in croc-infested waters north of the Lockhart River yesterday afternoon.

    Lockhart River Mayor Wayne Butcher says the men had gone for a swim in a known crocodile habitat.

    The ambulance service said the most seriously injured man, aged in his early 20s, suffered head, chest and arm injuries.

    He is in a serious but stable condition.
