A man arrested after a three-year-old boy suffered serious injuries in a crocodile enclosure at a zoo near Huntingdon has been re-bailed.

The 30-year-old, from Norfolk, was originally arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Cambridgeshire Constabulary confirmed yesterday (Monday) that he has now been re-bailed until 17th December.

The toddler was rushed to hospital in a critical condition after he ended up in the enclosure at Johnsons of Old Hurst, near Huntingdon, on 18th June.

He was treated at the scene after being rescued by staff, including the zoo's owners.

Police later confirmed the boy was attacked by a crocodile, and officers declared a critical incident.

More than £117,000 has been raised for the toddler, who has since returned home after more than a month in hospital.
