Despite being suspected of attempted murder, the alleged perpetrator was found “unfit for interview” and let go, the police have said
UK police have released a man on bail who allegedly threw a toddler into a zoo crocodile enclosure, after he was “assessed as not being fit for interview,” the Cambridgeshire Constabulary said in a press release on Friday.
The incident took place at the Johnsons of Old Hurst zoo in Cambridgeshire on Thursday. The three-year-old boy was visiting the crocodile enclosure with his family when the suspect allegedly threw him over a four-foot fence and into the enclosure, where he fell more than 12 feet and landed among the reptiles.
The zoo owner’s wife, Tracey Johnson, reportedly leapt in after the child, and pulled him out of the enclosure.
“She’d always put her own life at risk to save someone else. She’s an extraordinary lady and very brave,” the BBC cited National Centre For Reptile Welfare director Chris Newman as saying.
