Man Charged with Attempted Murder After Incident Involving Toddler at Zoo

A man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly forcing a 3-year-old boy into a crocodile enclosure at Johnsons of Old Hurst, a farm and zoo in Huntingdon, England. The incident occurred on June 20, 2026, and the boy suffered critical injuries, including a broken arm and pelvis, but is now in stable condition. The man, who is 30 years old and remains unidentified, was assessed as not fit for interview by police and has been released on bail until September 30, pending further inquiries. Tracey Johnson, the wife of the zoo’s owner, rescued the boy from the enclosure.
