A baby less than a year old has ended up in the water of the Radioplassen in Stevensbeek. This happened when the dog, which was attached to the buggy, suddenly ran off and dragged the buggy with it.
The mother ran after it to save her child from the water along Ceresstraat. A doctor from the trauma helicopter that was called then sat down with the child in a fire truck to keep the child warm until the ambulance arrived.
The child has been taken care of and has been given dry clothes. The mother, who was also completely wet, was taken home by ambulance with her child.
According to bystanders, the woman was walking with the buggy. She had two dogs with her, a husky and a smaller dog. The husky would have pulled the buggy into the water.
The dogs don’t mind. They were taken care of by emergency services personnel. (see photos below)
