Summary
Cambridgeshire police released a 30-year-old man on bail until Sept. 30 after charging him with attempted murder over allegations he forced a 3-year-old boy into a crocodile enclosure.
Police said the suspect did not know the child and was deemed unfit for interview, leaving further inquiries to determine how the attack unfolded at Johnsons of Old Hurst near Huntingdon.
The boy is now in stable condition after suffering critical injuries, reportedly including a broken arm and pelvis, and was pulled from danger by Tracey Johnson, the zoo owner's wife.
Johnsons of Old Hurst said its tropical house will stay closed until further notice, while local officials said they were struggling to understand how the incident happened despite existing safety protections.
