英格兰东部警方周四表示，一名男子已因涉嫌谋杀未遂被捕，此前一名3岁男童“闯入了鳄鱼池”。
剑桥郡警察局表示，这名幼童身受“重伤”，目前在附近剑桥市的阿登布鲁克医院，情况“危急但稳定”。
警方未说明受伤原因，也未提及伤势是否由鳄鱼造成。
该警局补充道：“一名来自诺福克郡的30岁男子已因涉嫌谋杀未遂被捕”，并表示已安排专门训练过的警员在医院协助男童的家人。
警方称，重案组侦探正在剑桥西北约20英里处的约翰逊老赫斯特动物园展开调查，该园区同时经营农场商店和咖啡馆。
警方未提供更多案件细节。
侦探督察维里蒂·麦坎在警方声明中表示：“现阶段我们正在与事发当日在动物园的人员谈话，以进一步了解事件经过。这是一起令人痛心的事故。”
“我们目前认为被捕男子与这名幼童互不相识。”
据该园区官网信息，约翰逊老赫斯特是一家家族经营的农场企业，如今除动物园外，还设有肉铺、农场商店、茶室和牛排馆。

Police in eastern England said Thursday a man had been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a 3-year-old boy “ended up in the crocodile enclosure” at a zoo.
Cambridgeshire Constabulary said the toddler had sustained “serious injuries” and was in a “critical but stable” condition at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in nearby Cambridge.
It did not specify how the injuries had been inflicted or whether they were from a crocodile.
“A 30-year-old man from Norfolk has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder,” the police force added, noting specially trained officers were supporting the boy’s family at the hospital.
It said detectives from its major crime unit were investigating the incident at Johnsons of Old Hurst, a zoo, farm shop and cafe around 20 miles northwest of Cambridge.
No further details about the incident were provided.
“At this stage we are speaking to people who were at the zoo at the time of this distressing incident to understand more about the circumstances,” Detective Inspector Verity McCann said in the police statement.
“We do not believe the man arrested and the child are known to each other.”
Johnsons of Old Hurst is a family-run farming business that now features a butcher, farm shop, tea room and steakhouse as well as a zoo, according to its website.
It says it is home to more than 100 animals, including lions, tigers, sloth bears, capybaras, meerkats and crocodiles.
