A council is investigating the care given to a disabled man accused of throwing a three-year-old boy into a crocodile pit over suspected neglect concerns. Norfolk County Council has opened a safeguarding inquiry into the support provided to the 30-year-old after he was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder on June 18. The suspect, who has a learning disability, was visiting Johnsons of Old Hurst in Cambridgeshire with two carers when the small child was thrown 15ft into an enclosure with at least 15 crocodiles. He was released on bail hours after his arrest - with police deeming him unfit for interview. A source with knowledge of the case claimed his two carers left the enclosure with the suspect shortly after 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,' the insider said.Witnesses also told the Daily Mail the carers were 'on their phones' and 'ten metres behind' the suspect when he allegedly picked up the boy, lifted him over a security fence and hurled him into the enclosure.Norfolk County Council has now revealed that a Section 42 inquiry into the man's care is currently underway.

The council added it had stopped referrals to the care provider involved in the suspect's case, when asked by The Telegraph. A spokesperson for the local authority said it was working with 'partners in the health and care system to identify and review all those individuals receiving care from this provider and to ensure the care they are receiving is of the quality and consistency they expect and deserve'. While the suspect was from Norfolk, it is understood his care was not commissioned, provided or paid for by Norfolk County Council.Earlier today, it was revealed that the three-year-old victim had endured five surgeries since the incident - and faces a further two operations.

The boy reportedly landed on a concrete walkway, suffering a broken arm and pelvis, after he was thrown into the enclosure.
