A fundraising campaign for a three-year-old boy critically injured after allegedly being thrown into a crocodile enclosure has surpassed £105,000. The incident occurred on 18 June at Johnsons of Old Hurst. The boy's family shared an update on 22 July 2026, stating he has undergone seven surgeries.
Recent operations included a nerve graft on his left arm, where surgeons used a nerve from his leg. His parents remain by his side at a hospital in Cambridge, hopeful that this most recent surgery will be the last for now. The family expressed amazement at his progress, noting he is now talking to nurses and playing.
A 30-year-old man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in relation to the incident was later bailed. Police indicated he was not fit for interview, and an investigation into his care is ongoing, reportedly due to learning difficulties.
