In June, a visitor, who was said to be mentally disabled, threw a 3-year-old boy into the crocodile cage from a height of 4.5 meters at the zoo in Cambridge, England.

The child was seriously injured, and the person who threw him into the cage was released on the grounds that he was "unfit to testify".

The child, who was injured in his arm, neck, head and face as a result of the fall and the crocodile attack, was saved by the officer who jumped into the cage, and the child, who had 7 surgeries, survived life-threatening injuries.
