This is the terrifying moment a swimmer was dragged underwater by a crocodile before his friend saved him by poking the creature with a selfie stick.

Footage taken near the Kaliasot Dam in Bhopal, central India, shows the moment the croc clamped its jaw around the right thigh of 30-year-old Amit Jatav.

But his friend Gajendra Yadav came to the rescue and used a selfie stick to push the animal away.
