His thoughts go out to the family of the little boy involved
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Darryl Preston has spoken out after a little boy has been left with “serious” injuries after ending up in a crocodile enclosure in Huntingdon.
A police investigation is underway following the incident at Johnson’s of Old Hurst.
Officers were called to the zoo at 1.24pm on June 18 to reports of an incident involving a three-year-old boy, during which he ended up in the crocodile enclosure. The boy has been taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital with serious injuries and is critical but stable.
Specially trained officers are at the hospital supporting the boy’s family. A 30-year-old man from Norfolk has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Darryl Preston, has said: “My thoughts go out to the family of the little boy involved in this truly horrific incident. I can only begin to imagine the trauma those involved are going through.
“While I have been fully briefed by the Chief Constable (Simon Megicks, Cambridgeshire Constabulary), I would like to remind everyone that this is an ongoing operational issue and therefore I am not able to comment any further at this stage.”
