Description
Police in London, Ohio, released body-camera video Wednesday of two officers rescuing a missing 5-year-old boy who was found lying on his back in a creek.
In a release issued on social media, London police said officers Dylan Fout and Denise Dye were on patrol Tuesday evening on the south side of the city when Fout noticed a young boy walking on the sidewalk alone.
Fout turned around to check on the child and the officers did not immediately see where he went. As officers began searching in the area a 911 call was dispatched of a missing 5-year-old boy with autism.
Soon after, officers Fout and Dye located the boy in a nearby creek. Fout entered the creek, which police said was 3 feet deep, and pulled the child to safety.
The boy was conscious when Fout pulled him out of the 40-degree water.
Police said soon after he was out, the child began vomiting. Medics were called to the scene and the boy was taken to Madison Health for observation. He has since been released from the hospital.
"We would like to recognize Ofc. Fout’s excellent patrol observations and quick actions in saving the child from imminent danger," the department said in the release.
