A 30-year-old man arrested after a three-year-old boy was injured in a crocodile attack at a zoo near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire last week has been incorrectly named on social media as “Adanawa Bolwada”. Full Fact confirmed with police that this name is not correct. The man was arrested and bailed, but has not been named. Cambridgeshire Constabulary reportedly said the arrested man is white-British, is not believed to have known the child, and is understood to have learning disabilities. He was released on bail until 18 September after being assessed as “not being fit for interview”. The incorrect name was also shared by Grok, the AI chatbot created by Elon Musk’s start-up xAI, though it later acknowledged this “remains unverified social media speculation”. Full Fact rated the claim as false because the police have said ‘Adanawa Bolwada’ is not the name of the person arrested.
