A three-year-old boy, who was allegedly thrown into a zoo's crocodile enclosure last month, has had five operations and requires at least two further procedures. His family revealed this challenging recovery, including nerve reconstruction in his arm, while living at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder but has since been bailed.
