“Give me your hand, Sarge,” an officer is heard telling Nistor in the bodycam video. “One, two, I’m going to throw you, all right? Three!”

Lauderhill Police Officers Ivan Perez and Nicholas Colon worked together to pull Nistor from the mud, ensuring the safety of both him and the child.

Lauderhill Police Chief Constance Stanley urged parents to take this scary situation as a lesson to teach their children about water safety and as a reminder to keep their children supervised whenever they are near a body of water.
