A trip to the zoo took a horrifying turn when a three-year-old boy was thrown into a crocodile exhibit. The incident occurred at Johnson’s Zoo, located in Cambridgeshire, about 70 miles north of London. The zoo is a popular destination for families and promotes its animals on its website, inviting people to come and see the “incredible crocodiles.” On Thursday, a 30-year-old man, unknown to the child, threw the boy into the dangerous exhibit, and police quickly rushed to the scene. “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,” law enforcement officer Verity McCann said. Another law enforcement officer announced that this was officially a “live criminal investigation” and discouraged people from speculating online. The man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of the toddler, who is currently hospitalized and in critical but stable condition.
