The victim was forced to cling onto a nearby mangrove shrub to stop himself being dragged underwater, before the crocodile gave up and swam away.
NT Police Watch Commander Siiri Tennosaar told the ABC the man is extremely lucky to have survived the attack.
'He was grabbed from behind by a 1.8-metre [crocodile] and the man held onto some mangroves and the crocodile for some reason released him and swam away,' she said.
'So other than suffering some pretty deep lacerations to his upper thigh, he managed to get away with no life-threatening injuries.
'He should go straight to get a lotto ticket.'
The man is being treated at a local clinic in Ramingining and is being transported to Gove District Hospital later on Wednesday with minor injuries.
