The youngster is believed to have put his hand in the water before the predator chomped down on his arm.
Fikri screamed in pain before the massive crocodile pulled him off his boat – a blue barrel converted into a small canoe.
Desperate pals clung onto his other arm, trying to wrestle him back to safety.
But the predator’s grip prevailed – leaving the animal to escape with the boy in its jaws after the vessel overturned.
