[WATCH] Father Arrested After Bringing Child Into Elephant Enclosure
March 22, 2021 6:37 amVideo taken by bystanders at the San Diego zoo show the moment an elephant charged a man after he entered the enclosure this weekend.
It was the zoo’s Asian and African elephant section. He was also holding his 2 year old daughter at the time.
In the video, the man is seen holding the child while standing inside the exhibit when a crowd notices the elephant behind him. They start to yell as the elephant picks up its pace and charges toward the man, letting out a fierce roar.
Witnesses told the news station they couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
Police identified the man as 25-year-old Jose Manuel Navarrete. He was booked on suspicion of child cruelty.
No-one was hurt thank goodness.
