Cambridgeshire police said officers were called after reports of an incident that occurred at Johnsons of Old Hurst, a zoo about 20 km from Cambridge, in the east of England.
The child fell into the crocodile enclosure and was taken to hospital after being found by agents. The child has serious injuries and is in critical but stable condition, police said. A 30-year-old man was arrested.
It is not yet known, however, how the child ended up inside the crocodile habitat.
"At this time, we are speaking to people who were at the zoo at the time of this distressing incident to better understand the circumstances. (...) We believe that the arrested man and the child did not know each other," said detective inspector Verity McCann.
The zoo had not made an official statement about the case until this last update reporting. On its website, the zoo states that the family farm's interest in conservation led to a fascination with crocodiles.
