Police in Cambridgeshire arrested a 30-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder after a 3-year-old boy ended up in a crocodile enclosure at Johnsons of Old Hurst zoo near Cambridge. Officers were called at about 1:24 p.m. Thursday to reports of an incident involving the child, who suffered serious injuries and was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in critical but stable condition. Police have not publicly detailed how the boy entered the enclosure, though several reports say he was thrown in. The incident drew national attention because it occurred at a family zoo that promotes its crocodile exhibit, and investigators have released few details about the suspect or the circumstances.
