The three-year-old boy hurled into a pit full of crocodiles and alligators by a man with special needs is no longer critically ill, it was revealed today.The child was bitten by a saltwater crocodile in front of his mother, who was also caring for a baby, during a family visit to Old Hurst Zoo in Cambridgeshire.He suffered a shattered arm and pelvis, with CCTV footage of the brutal attack now handed to detectives.Police are studying the footage and today confirmed he is no longer in a critical condition - but he remains in hospital in Cambridge.The 30-year-old man arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder was almost immediately bailed until September 18 after police said he 'was assessed as not being fit for interview.'Carers accompanying the disabled man were reportedly 'on their phones' and 'ten metres behind him' when he picked up the boy, lifted him over a security fence and hurled him into the enclosure swarming with alligators and crocodiles.Police are examining the CCTV footage today as they assess whether the suspect will be charged.The three-year-old victim was bitten by at least one saltwater crocodile – the animal with the world's strongest bite – after landing in water containing around 50 reptiles, including some species that can weigh as much as a tonne and grow up to 22ft.The zoo's co-owner, Tracey Johnson, jumped into the enclosure to save the little boy from the jaws of the crocodiles.She was followed in by her husband, Andy, and one of their sons, Edward, on Thursday afternoon. The child is reported to have been visiting with his mother, who also had her baby with her on the zoo trip. Tracey Johnson, pictured with husband Andy, was described by a friend as a 'special, steadfast, old-fashioned heroine'. She was lauded as a hero after she climbed into the pen, waded to the boy and 'swooped down to pull him to safety', followed by her husband and son The boy had been on an elevated walkway admiring at least 15 crocodiles and alligators when he was apparently lifted over a 4ft safety fence and hurled 15ft into the enclosure Their friend Chris Newman, director of the National Centre for Reptile Welfare, who has housed crocodiles at Old Hurst, said: 'We mustn't underestimate how much of a difference Tracey made.'She was first in there. She jumped in and dealt with an awful situation. She was then joined by her husband and son. It was a team effort.'The boy is slowly recovering.A police spokesman said on Monday: 'The boy is no longer critical and is in a stable condition in hospital.'The youngster is thought to have been tossed over the 4ft safety fence separating an aerial walkway from the enclosure below, where he landed on concrete before rolling into water.Witnesses have spoken out about earlier seeing the man's carers 'on their phones' and not paying close attention during his outing to the zoo with other vulnerable adults.A mother who was at the zoo at the time of the incident described hearing a 'loud scream' while sitting on a bench outside the enclosure.She said: 'Someone later described the man that did it and said he was with carers.'I don't know if it was definitely him, but I saw one bloke of a bigger build, he had two carers with him and they weren't paying him much attention.'If it was him, his carers were maybe ten metres behind him. They were English and chatting among themselves and on their phones.'On Friday, Cambridgeshire police confirmed the boy is still in a critical condition in hospital, with his injuries said to include a broken arm and pelvis.A spokesman said: 'A three-year-old boy from Cambridgeshire remains in Addenbrooke's Hospital in a critical but stable condition.'A 30-year-old man from Norfolk, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, has been released on bail while detectives from the Major Crimes Unit conduct further enquiries regarding this incident. 'The man, not known to the victim, was assessed as not being fit for interview.'It is believed the man was on a trip with other vulnerable adults and had at least two carers with him. Yesterday, 55-year-old Mrs Johnson – whom one friend described yesterday as a 'special, steadfast, old-fashioned heroine' – was lauded as a hero after she climbed into the pen, waded to the boy and 'swooped down to pull him to safety'.She is then thought to have escaped through a keepers' exit.Chris Newman, director of the National Centre for Reptile Welfare, said: 'Her actions are nothing less than what I would expect of her. She is an incredible lady. It was a very brave thing to do.'
