Dramatic footage shows the moment a group of children received an electric shock in a swimming pool after a pump malfunctioned at a Florida apartment complex.
The video shows a girl grabbing a railing to climb out of the pool when, suddenly, her head falls back and she becomes motionless.
A man races to her aid, but he too receives a shock as he grabs the railing to try to drag the girl out.
Another girl is also unable to move due to the shock, and a different man risks his life as he drags her to safety. She was one of three children hospitalized following the incident at the Palms West Gardens Condominium complex in Hialeah, just outside Miami.
“I was in the pool and then the metal railing, I was swimming close to it, and I felt a shock,” Diego Cabrera, 10, told TV station WEAR.
Officials said the malfunctioning pool pump caused the water to become electrified. There has been no comment from the apartment complex despite the fact the incident occurred last month.
It follows the electrocution of 7-year-old Calder Sloan of North Miami, who died after a pool light electrified the water he was swimming in.
