Abu Dhabi police have managed to rescue a three-year-old Pakistani boy who fell into an 11-metre deep well at a low-cost residence in Mazeid district in Al Ain.

Doctors said the boy suffered light bruises.

The rescue team of the emergency and public security section of Abu Dhabi Police in Al Ain rushed to the scene of incident when they received the report. The boy was immediately located and extricated from the well. Lt-Colonel Zayed Mohammed Al Hagiri, head of the section, said patrols and ambulances rushed to the scene and located the boy in the well using a lamp. A specialist descended into the well and then pulled him out. He called on Emiratis and residents to cover up all the open water wells.
