Murphy's Summer Camp
MATATA, New Zealand – A fisherman rescued an infant on the New Zealand coast after spotting the floating child face down in the water.
Gus Hutt met the boy around 26:00 on 26 October in Matata, near Whakatane, in the northern island of the country, while fishing from the beach.
"His face looked like porcelain with his short hair wet, but then … he let out a little cry and I said to myself," Oh my God, he's a baby and he's alive. "
"When he passed near me, I thought that it was only a doll," Hutt said at the New Zealand Herald.
"His face looked like porcelain with his short hair wet, but then … he let out a little cry and I said to myself," Oh my God, he's a baby and he's alive. "
CNN tried to contact Hutt for further comments.
It was widely reported that the boy had escaped from the tent of his parents, who were staying at a nearby summer camp.
A spokesman for the New Zealand police said that this child – aged about 2 years – was "found face down in the water".
"The child quickly removed the child from the water at the scene of the incident and began to breathe again. He was taken to the hospital for a checkup in a moderate state. "
Rebecca Salter, co-owner of Murphy's Holiday Camp, told CNN that Hutt's wife alerted the campsite after she found the child and brought her back to wrap her in a towel.
New Zealand's police spokesman said the authorities were no longer investigating the incident.
