Man arrested after boy injured in zoo crocodile enclosure
The zoo houses crocodiles at its site near Huntingdon
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.
A spokesperson for Johnsons of Old Hurst said its thoughts and prayers were with the boy and his family.
"Out of respect to the family, our Tropical House will remain closed until further notice," they added.
"If you have any questions about the incident, please direct inquiries to Cambridgeshire Police Constabulary.
"The rest of the site will remain open as normal."
The crocodiles are kept in a converted cattle barn, which has metal-fenced elevated walkways
Det Insp Verity McCann, from Cambridgeshire Police, said: "At this stage we are speaking to people who were at the zoo at the time of this distressing incident to understand more about the circumstances.
"We do not believe the man arrested and the child are known to each other. Officers are supporting the boy's family at hospital, and our thoughts remain with them."
Huntingdon MP Ben Obese-Jecty wrote on social media that his "thoughts were with the young victim and his family during a hugely traumatic and difficult time" and he urged people to "refrain from speculation online".
He said he was "liaising with senior officers at Gold Command who are treating this as a critical incident".

Darryl Preston, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough's police and crime commissioner, said he had been briefed by Chief Constable Simon Megicks.
"My thoughts go out to the family of the little boy involved in this truly horrific incident," he said.
"I can only begin to imagine the trauma those involved are going through."
A spokesperson for the East of England Ambulance Service said an ambulance, a rapid response vehicle, an ambulance officer vehicle and Magpas Air Ambulance attended the scene.
"A child was transported by road to hospital for further care," they added.
A Magpas Air Ambulance spokesperson said a critical care team attended the incident at 13:42 and "treated one patient at the scene before taking them to hospital".
A near neighbour of the zoo, who did not wish to be named, described hearing a "lot of sirens" then an air ambulance arriving.
He said the incident was "shocking".
Mike Annicelli, 52, who also lives close to the zoo, said he had previously visited the attraction.
He said there was a "raised platform" in the enclosure and estimated the crocodiles were about 15ft (4.5m) below. He said there was fencing along walkways which he estimated was around 4ft (1.2m) high.
Members of the media are at the scene but police are no longer there.
According to its website, Johnsons of Old Hurst is a family-run farming business that now features a butchers, a farm shop, tea room, steakhouse and zoo.
It says it "houses over 100 fascinating animals" including crocodiles, African lions and a Bengal tiger.
The crocodiles are kept in a converted cattle barn, which has metal-fenced elevated walkways looking down on large pools of water surrounded by tropical vegetation. The Tropical House enclosure where the crocodiles are housed remains closed until further notice, a spokesperson for the zoo said
Charlotte Lowe, who represents Old Hurst on Huntingdonshire District Council and Cambridgeshire County Council, said she was "shocked" when she heard about the incident.
"To have something like this happen here is just incredulous," she said. "You don't expect this to happen in a rural village."
The enclosure had safety measures in place, she added, including Perspex glass and secure walkways, and the zoo was a popular attraction to visitors from all over the country.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the young boy suffering in this," she added.
The zoo is expected to reopen on Friday, although the Tropical House will be closed.
Five to one it's a muslim, they have a documented history of throwing white children off balconies and such things, and the bongs are carefully not mentioning anything about his identity, which they typically try and do to protect muslims.
Nah, admitting he's this severely retarded and was out with a carer all but guarantees white.
The mentally unhinged non-whites are just allowed to roam free and murder.
Question is, why is this being pushed as just 'man does horrible thing to child' when really, it's a case of 'negligence of carer leads to serious injury'. This man's being lambasted for his actions when there's a very strong possibility that he doesn't even know what he's done, whilst the carer is managing to scoot on by with not so much as a single mention in the second news article.
My suspicion is it's the standard problem. The carer is almost certainly some 5 foot nothing older woman and the gentleman is some slab of humanity she could no more hold back than she could wrangle a tank.
For equivalent picture someone failing to hold back a shitbull that outweighs them a fair bit, smiling and saying, "he's a big softie really," 5 seconds before the predictable happens.
Back in my day they just let you buy pellets to give to the animals when you would visit these sorts of places. Has the cost of living crisis gotten so bad that now we have to find our own alternatives?
Fucking disgusting. Even more disgusting, I’ve had the need to go in FB today where I don’t usually and there are so many comments like ‘why wasn’t the mum holding his hand?’ Well maybe because there’s a big fucking fence a three year old couldn’t climb over and you don’t expect your child to be picked up and hurled into a fucking crocodile pit by some sped nutter. Just like that little lad thrown off the balcony at the Tate modern a while back.
Either the carer will be brown or the tard wrangler will be a low paid disinterested immigrant on his phone rather than looking at his ward

Having an individual prone to tard rages not being capable of "knowing" what he's doing and allowed to roam in public with or without supervision doesn't really make me feel more comfortable with the situation.
Also, low IQ sociopathic behavior isn't suddenly something else just because the low IQ sociopath is a downie or whatever else.

Carer jobs, especially the bottom of the barrel jobs that involve tard wrangling an aggressive fully grown man in public, are mostly done by foreigners. Specifically foreigners who see this miserable job as a sure-fire way to get into the citizenship pipeline and then bring their entire family over.

To be fair, I would expect this. I've been terrified of speds since childhood which is when I learned that they can do whatever they want and no one will stop them, they will never be punished or even prevented from doing it again. And what they want is unpredictable. They can kill you and no one will give a fuck, it'll be treated like getting hit by lightning, just a thing that happens sometimes and there's nothing anyone can do to prevent it, cause locking them up is too mean.
If I didn't flee the premises the second I spotted this duo of giant tard and bored phone-scrolling carer (due to being held back by other family members who don't share my opinion on the retard menace and want to enjoy the zoo) I would be hypervigilant about keeping children away from them.
Edit: I keep thinking about this and now I'm wondering if the injured child wasn't another tourist like last time. The UK is one of the worst countries in the world for letting special needs types run loose. If you are from a more sensible country, there's a higher chance that you just aren't aware of the danger, and believe the media lies that they are kept locked up because of bigotry.

We have one in my family who's never had any violent tendencies, so when my eldest was a baby and a retard approached us at the park, and his career said he just loved babies and wanted to look at her I didn't think anything of it. Then the retard tried to smack my newborn in the face and luckily my reflexes were fast enough that he didn't get her, but holy shit. I learned my lesson that day.
What's the point of keeping the sped alive? If he's too retarded to know that he shouldn't throw a boy into a crocodile pit then he's too retarded to live. Pull the old of mice and men routine and put a bullet in the back of his skull.

Back when I used to swim at the local pool, I would often encounter a profoundly mentally disabled man. He would stand shoulder deep, surrounded by three wranglers, and would bellow wordlessly into the rafters like a stranded whale. He was heavy set and I was always very wary of swimming anywhere near him. I think that if, for some unexplainable reason, he had grabbed hold of an arm or a leg, then no-one would have been able to make him let go.
JFC. No doubt the carer was a fucking foid, lazy unattentive brown or a faggot. It's maddening to live in this world.
Edit: "Local media reported the man has learning difficulties and had been visiting the zoo with a carer, who was not with him at the time of the incident."
I bet most people have also had this sudden feeling of "the call of the void". Like if you're holding a cup of coffee next to someone you dislike. What if you just...threw it in their face? Or if you were walking across a bridge, you could jump. Wouldn't it be exhilirating if i yelled something right as this plane was taking off? Obviously a sane person never does it but the thought still enters your mind. Other people who don't have the mental capacity to say "uhh no actually" aren't fit to walk our streets.
I haven't looked it up but what I understand call of the void to mean involves self-harm or self-destructive behaviour. What you're describing seems to me to be a better match for (unwanted) intrusive thoughts, I believe. Maria Bamford has a very funny comedy set revolving around that and her OCD.
Buddy, it's way too late for that. The media has jumped on the race bandwagon so hard for so long now? It's a knee-jerk reaction to assume minority if the race isn't immediately listed, even in cases where it turned out not to be true.
We only act this way because YOU trained us to do so.
You cried "Not a Wolf!" so long? We don't believe you any longer.
That all said, this is further nails in the coffin of the mentally ill/developmentally broken being able to walk around with only a grade-school level escort.
They just cannot help themselves in public and that's not our fault or obligation to engineer around. The longer this keeps up? The closer comes the day when society says "fuck it" and brings back institutions and abandoning these people in them because "just be patient and let him sperg out" has proven no more effective than any other treatment regime at greater cost to the public.
Shutting down asylums was a bipartisan effort. The justification was: (1) asylums really were pretty bad; (2) shutting them down saved a lot of money; (3) new psychiatric medications made "care in the community" look more feasible; (4) virtually all the experts thought it was a good idea.
And the courts said it was everyone's right to make rational decisions regarding their own health, including the mentally ill, even though the mentally ill aren't in a position to make the rational decisions regarding their own health. In other words, you have the right to be crazy and be on the streets.
I'd love to pet an alligator. They seem like cool guys. I don't think you can really get friendly with them because they'll tend to bite your limbs and do a "death roll" resulting in your body being torn apart. It's a shame they're heartless reptiles. They seem alright outside of that. Honestly an alligator seems like it could be a better friend than many people.
According to the Telegraph, the bong pigs are investigating the two foid carers. The retard is a white bong as well. Apparently he gave the foids the slip. Boy broke his arm, which to me isn't quite congruent with critical injuries, but I guess it could be an open fracture or other injuries. He's young so hopefully he'll make a full recovery.
Sorry for no archive, Telegraphs webpages are cancer.
It's a three word Streisand effect. It's up there with "Don't think of an elephant!" in terms of instructions that aren't just useless, but actively push people into doing what you're trying to stop.

Even worse, he was on a 2-to-1 and he managed to evade both of them.
You don't get many 2-to-1 individuals without there being very severe learning disabilities, and often they pose a genuine risk and danger to people around them (hence needing 2 carers, usually as they need immense support and may need restraining).
Both carers are equally liable for their horrific negligence
This seems like another Jonty Bravery situation. A mentally retarded man, with a level of intelligence and personality comparable to that of a spoiled toddler, who was mistakenly given enough freedom to pose a danger to the general public.
This is just as much of a glaring political failure as if it had been a migrant, just one of a different nature. It's another complete failure of "care in the community".
