Woodbury police say a boy was taken to St. Paul Children’s Hospital after he was pulled out of a pond near a new apartment complex Monday afternoon.
A 911 caller who was hiking on a trail near Corn Silk Lane reported seeing what appeared to be a body floating facedown in a pond near the Orville Commons apartment complex, located at 4290 Radio Drive, just after 12:40 p.m., said Cmdr. John Altman of the Woodbury Public Safety Department.
The boy’s age was not immediately available, but Altman said he appears to be younger than 10 years old. The boy was taken to Children’s St. Paul, and his status is unknown at this time, he said.
The boy’s family was located inside the apartment complex, and Altman said police do not suspect any foul play.
The pond is located south of Jerry’s Foods on Hargis Parkway between Benjamin Drive and Radio Drive.
