In Cambridgeshire County (UK), police arrested a 30-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder after, according to the investigation, he threw a 3-year-old boy into a crocodile enclosure at a zoo. This was reported by The Independent.
According to a local resident who wished to remain anonymous, the wife of the zoo owner, Tracy Johnson, was able to quickly reach the enclosure and save the child.
British media report that the boy was diagnosed with a broken arm and pelvis.
The investigation is being conducted by detectives from the Cambridgeshire police's major crime unit. Authorities stated that the man and the child were not acquainted.
After the incident, the boy was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital. His condition is described as critical but stable.
