Boy, 3, ‘thrown into a crocodile pit’ is no longer in a critical condition

A three-year-old boy who was seriously injured after being ‘thrown into a crocodile pit’ is no longer in a critical condition, police confirmed.

The young child was injured at Johnsons of Old Hurst in Huntingdon, a family-run zoo outside Cambridge, on Thursday last week.

His family watched as the boy was thrown 15 feet into the croc enclosure, breaking his arm and pelvis when he hit the concrete.

Cambridgeshire Police arrested and bailed a 30-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder.

A spokesperson for the force said: ‘The boy is no longer critical and is in a stable condition in hospital.’

This is a breaking story. More to come.
