Local Police officers also went to the rescue a two-year-old boy, who had his hand caught in the a building elevator. Thy were able to free him with the help of an iron lever following which they moved him to a health centre, for later transfer to the Vega Baja Hospital where his injuries were treated.
Both children are now out of danger.
The Councilor for Security, Mariola Rocamora, was extremely complimentary about the actions of the agents, commending their “prompt action and speed of intervention, thus ensuring the rapid treatment and recovery of the two children.”
