The mother of a Port Washington boy praised police officers and firefighters who came to her son's rescue Sunday evening, June 2 after the boy got stuck in an unusual spot -- under a dumpster.
It all started with a missing baseball, and the boy quickly found himself in a bit of a pickle.
"We got a lot of guys on this department with a lot of experience, and this is the first time we've seen something like this," said Port Washington Fire Chief Mark Mitchell.
Chief Mitchell described the call to an apartment building on Port View Drive Sunday evening as one that makes your heart skip a beat.
"Our police were already on the scene, and they were assuring us that the child was not injured, just stuck," said Chief Mitchell.
