Man arrested after boy injured in zoo crocodile enclosure

A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a three-year-old boy was left with critical injuries after ending up in a zoo's crocodile enclosure.

Cambridgeshire Police said it was called to Johnsons of Old Hurst, near Huntingdon, at 13:24 BST.

Andy Johnson, who runs the zoo, told the BBC his wife, Tracey, jumped into the enclosure to try to help the boy.

A 30-year-old man from Norfolk has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and officers added they do not believe the man and child were known to each other.

The force said it was investigating whether the child was attacked by the animals.

The boy was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital with serious injuries and is in a critical but stable condition, the force said.

The man has since been released on bail and was 'unfit to interview'.

Trying to kill a baby is bailable in the UK. Unfit to interview, sounds like this POS will use some insanity defense. Another psycho who didn't know what he was doing yet has the wherewithal to discern who the soft targets are. If Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor, Josh Hokit or any tough guy like them were in the same exact spot would this "mentally distributed" POS even think of messing with them? How is it these psychos never pick on anyone their own size?

Another thing, I wonder why as of yet the suspect hasn't been named? But let's not jump to conclusions....

after a three-year-old boy . . . ending up in a zoo's crocodile enclosure. Force said it was investigating whether the child was attacked by the animals.

Look at how the BBC bends over backward to NOT say what happened - that the lunatic threw the kid into the pen. From the BBC description, you wonder why the police didn't arrest the animals instead of the man because it doesn't seem like the man did anything wrong.

Coulter Theorem. If they don’t identify the perp right away, it’s not a white male.

It’s now over 24 hours since the arrest and no name or description.

Hence Coutler’s Law is now in effect.

Arrested suspects are never named until charged and produced in court. Standard UK procedure, whatever the crime and whoever the suspect.

Yet another reason to believe it is not a white guy.

All moslem and Sihk invaders in Europe should be deported.

And there’s just no way around it: if you think skin color causes criminal behavior, then you have a low IQ.

All illegal immigrants and their children in our country should be deported.

All violent criminals should be prosecuted.

Again, there’s just no way around it: if you think skin color causes criminal behavior, then you have a low IQ.

Police arrive 64 minutes later and say, Ah, I don’t believe there is a kid in the croc pen. And you say he called you a racist name! Shame on that 3 yr old white kid!

They talk about classroom and playground bullies and their bullying but this bully is an adult, and now he deserves to be taken to the same zoo in the middle of the night and left to fend for himself in the same crocodile enclosure wearing nothing but a pair of flip flops.

Because they are crazy, not stupid.
