The stranger who hurled a three-year-old boy into a crocodile pit was bundled into a car by his carers, who then tried to drive off, it was claimed today. Staff at Johnsons of Old Hurst, near Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, reportedly had to stand in their way to stop them leaving the zoo with the man, who is disabled.The 30-year-old suspect was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder but was bailed within hours until September 18 after police said he ‘was assessed as not being fit for interview’.A source with knowledge of the case claimed his two carers left the enclosure with the suspect as the zoo’s owners jumped in to save the boy.‘They [the carers] tried to get him into the car. Another member of staff was there and prevented them from leaving,’ an insider said.It came as it was revealed that up to 40 NHS hospital staff accessed the boy’s medical records, sparking a major investigation and the threat of disciplinary action.Witnesses told the Daily Mail the suspect’s carers were ‘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, which was swarming with alligators and crocodiles.The child suffered a shattered arm and pelvis last Thursday after landing on concrete and being bitten by at least one saltwater crocodile — the animal with the world’s strongest bite.Another witness, a woman in her twenties, said: ‘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 and not paying much attention.‘They were English, chatting among themselves and on their phones.’ The stranger who hurled a three-year-old boy into a crocodile pit at a UK zoo (pictured) was bundled into a car by his carers after the attackThe three-year-old boy was left fighting for his life after being bitten by a saltwater crocodile when he was thrown down into the enclosure (pictured) at Johnsons of Old Hurst near Huntingdon last week
