Boy identified after incident a where girl was pushed into a frozen pond in Hull
The young girl wasn't injured
Police say they've identified a boy they wanted to speak to after a girl was pushed into a freezing pond in Hull.
She was helped out of the water by her sister and others after the incident at East Park last Friday afternoon.
She was assessed at the hospital but wasn't injured.
Officers have now spoken to a boy and say an "appropriate resolution" has been reached between him and the girls family.
Head of Special Operations Unit Superintendent Lee Edwards spoke about the dangers of frozen water yesterday: “I would like to appeal to parents, guardians and children themselves, to please stay away from open water, especially frozen water.
“I share the advice of Humberside Fire and Rescue to stay away from frozen water. Bodies of water which freeze when the temperature hits zero and below may look like fun places to play, but can become potentially lethal for those who venture onto the ice.
“Lakes, ponds and certain stretches of rivers may look as if they will support the weight of people or animals, but sadly that is not always the case. The added hazards are the slippery banks and the ice-cold temperature of the water should an incident occur.
“They have a full page of advice around this on their website and I would urge people to read this and take their concerns seriously.”
We would like to thank everyone who shared our appeal and would again remind people about the dangers of open water, especially frozen water.
