The suspect accused of hurling a 3-year-old boy into a crocodile pit at a UK zoo was a man with learning disabilities on a day trip with his caretaker — as it emerged the zoo owner’s fearless wife had jumped in to save the child, according to reports.

The 30-year-old man appears to have grabbed the young child — a stranger — while his caretaker took his eye off him Thursday at the popular Johnsons of Old Hurst zoo in Cambridgeshire, England, according to the Sun.
