Horrifying footage captures the moment a crocodile carries a schoolboy’s body away in its jaws after attacking him while he fished on a riverbank in Indonesia.

Muhammad Nur Akbar, 15, was with his friends at the Santan Ulu River in East Kalimantan on Tuesday when the beast snatched him.

Despite warnings from his classmates, Muhammad dipped his feet to wash in the murky brown waters, only for a crocodile to surge forward and sink its large fangs into his thigh.

The teenager screamed for help as his friends raced over and grabbed his shirt in a desperate tug-of-war with the bloodthirsty reptile.

However, they were overpowered, with the beast dragging Muhammad away into the depths.
