Toddler in stable condition after crocodile attack at Cambridgeshire zoo

A three-year-old boy who was seriously hurt after ending up in the crocodile enclosure at a Cambridgeshire zoo is in a stable condition in hospital, police have said.

The boy is at Addenbrooke's Hospital, in Cambridge, after Thursday's incident at Johnsons of Old Hurst, near Huntingdon.

Cambridgeshire Police told Sky News: "The toddler remains in Addenbrooke's and is in a stable condition."

It is understood the boy was attacked by at least one crocodile after he was allegedly thrown into the enclosure.

A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Police said the arrested man, from Norfolk, was "assessed as not being fit for interview" and has been released on bail until September.

Police were called to the zoo at 1.24pm by the ambulance service to reports a boy had suffered serious injuries.

The zoo is home to more than 100 animals, including crocodiles, Bengal tigers, African lions, capybaras, meerkats, and sloth bears, according to its website.
