Ethnicity of Norfolk man arrested after crocodile incident
The boy, 3, remains in critical condition two days after he was attacked by “at least one” crocodile at Johnson’s of Old Hurst in Huntingdon.
According to reports, the boy had been on an elevated walkway when he was lifted over a 4ft safety fence and thrown 15ft down onto a concrete surface near the reptiles.

A 30-year-old man from Norfolk was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder shortly after the incident.
Cambridgeshire Police have now confirmed the man arrested was white British.

He has since been bailed until September 18 after police deemed him unfit for interview.
It is understood that the man in question has learning disabilities and had been visiting the zoo with carers.
Police say that the male and the child were not known to each other.
