A bystander leaped into action to save a young boy spotted walking along an elevated monorail track at Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, August 30.
Dramatic video captured by Maruo Bekhit shows shocked crowds below trying to direct the boy off the track. A man, identified as a park guest, then scales the roof of a food stall to climb onto the track, where he lifts the boy up and carries him down to safety.
According to local media, Hersheypark issued a statement saying the boy’s parents had reported him missing just after 5 pm and that crews had been searching for him when crowds spotted the boy on the track above them.
The child entered the monorail station, which was closed at the time of the incident, with a chain across the entrance, and spent about 20 minutes there before beginning to walk along the track, Hersheypark was quoted as saying.
The boy, who was unharmed, was reunited with his parents around 5:30 pm, officials said.
“We are grateful for the vigilance of our guests and the swift response of our team, and we remain committed to maintaining the highest levels of guest safety throughout Hersheypark,” they added.
