Wowcher issues an apology after sending an email about a crocodile attack that police say is being reviewed. Multiple outlets report that a three-year-old boy is in critical but stable condition in hospital following an alleged incident at Johnsons of Old Hurst in Huntingdonshire on Thursday, in which the child is said to have been thrown into a crocodile enclosure. The child is reported to be receiving treatment at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.
BreakingNews.ie and The Independent say Wowcher expresses regret and says it is “extremely sorry” for the content of the email. The Independent and the Daily Record describe the message as “unacceptable,” while also noting that the apology follows public concern about the wording. The Daily Mail adds that police are studying CCTV footage connected to the incident, though it does not describe any specific suspects or charges.
Across reports, the central points are the hospital condition of the boy, the Thursday incident at the zoo, and Wowcher’s apology for an email that commenters regard as mocking the attack.
