Family Thanks Zoo Staff After Three-Year-Old Boy Seriously Injured in Crocodile Enclosure

The boy remains in stable condition after multiple surgeries, and a fundraising page has been launched to support recovery and rehabilitation, police said.

  • A three-year-old boy was seriously injured after allegedly being thrown into a crocodile enclosure at Johnson's of Old Hurst, near Huntingdon, on June 18. The family issued a statement thanking the staff who rescued their son.
  • Following the incident, a 30-year-old man from Norfolk was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder but was later released on bail after authorities determined he was not fit for interview.
  • The boy was rescued by zoo owners amidst "extraordinary bravery and quick actions of those nearby," and after undergoing "multiple surgeries," he remains in stable condition at Addenbrooke's Hospital.
  • Parents remain by his side at the Hospital to support him through ongoing physical and psychological care, while a fundraising page was established to assist with recovery and rehabilitation throughout the coming months.
  • Any funds remaining after meeting the family's needs will be donated to charities within the Addenbrooke's Trust, which support other families facing similar challenges during difficult times.
