A 3-year-old boy from Phoenix, Arizona, was spotted floating face-down in an apartment complex pool by a passing neighbor, Martin Zaragoza. Zaragoza initially thought it might have been a doll or some other object, but he quickly realized it was a toddler. He immediately jumped into the pool to save the child before calling 911. The boy is now reportedly in serious condition at a nearby hospital.
According to Zaragoza, the incident happened on Friday afternoon, June 19. People reported that he was walking through the apartment complex on Colter Street near 11th Avenue when he noticed something unusual in the water. Zaragoza said, “I turned that corner and I saw something floating.” After realizing it was a toddler in the pool, he immediately rushed into the water and pulled the child to safety.
