Heroic moment police officer rescues child from frozen pond

A quick-thinking police officer has been praised after he crawled onto a partially frozen pond to rescue a child who had fallen in. Footage released by the Jonesboro Police Department in Arkansas shows the incident at the Gladiola Estates complex on Saturday, January 20. An officer, named by police as Troy Ellison, can be seen running through the estate before locating the child, who is clinging onto the edge of the ice with his body submerged. Ellison crawls onto the ice and, with the help of another officer and the fire department, manage to pull the child up and off the ice. The child was taken to hospital to be checked for cold weather injuries. “Be mindful that no matter how cold the temperatures get this winter, playing on the ice is never safe. Luckily, this call had a very happy ending,” the department wrote.
