Body Camera footage released shows the cops pulling a 13-year-old boy from Lake Erie.

The boy fell off of the break wall in Rocky River Park while on a field trip, FOX8 Cleveland reported:

Rocky River police Sgt. Ronald Flowers: “I knew that if he had been in the water a long time, he would be exposed to hypothermia, so we wanted to make sure we got down there and got him out of the water as quickly as possible.”

A body camera video shows cops running rescue the boy, but the officers grew alarmed when they didn’t see him in the water.

They searched until they found a teacher with a group of students on the break wall. The boy was in the water near the wall.
