.A woman has had to run from the water at a popular Darwin beach after she saw a crocodile moving towards her at speed.
Huni Bolliger, 43, was walking at Nightcliff beach during her lunch break, and said she was in the water up to her ankles.
"I saw a flash, which I thought might have been a manta ray and seconds later I saw it coming really fast towards me and I saw the big diamond head coming straight towards me and I ran," she said.
"I reckon it got maybe four or five metres [from me] — really close — it was moving so fast.
"It went from a shadow croc pattern to almost at my ankles and I ran."
She said she thought the head of the animal was about a foot long, and was told by wildlife rangers that it was probably about a two-metre crocodile.

Ms Bolliger described the experience as "really scary".
"I'm pretty shaken, my fingers were shaking so much I could hardly ring the croc people."
