More than £100,000 raised for boy injured in crocodile pit

  • A GoFundMe page has raised more than £100,000 for a three-year-old boy seriously injured after allegedly being thrown into a crocodile enclosure at Johnsons of Old Hurst, Cambridgeshire, on 18 June.
  • A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following the incident but was later bailed as he was deemed unfit for interview, with an investigation into his care ongoing.
  • The boy has undergone seven operations, including a nerve graft on his left arm, with surgeons harvesting a nerve from his leg to aid recovery.
  • His family, who remain by his side in hospital, expressed hope that the most recent surgery will be his last for now, allowing him to return home soon.
  • Updates from the family indicate the boy is now talking to nurses, playing with his feet, and smiling again, despite acknowledging a long recovery journey ahead.
