A missing eight-year-old boy has been found alive after surviving more than a week at a sewerage point in Oldenburg, Germany.
The boy, identified only as Joe, disappeared from his family’s garden on June 17, triggering a massive police search.
It was finally discovered on Saturday morning (25), when a passerby heard a noise coming from the manhole cover. The boy was 300 meters from his home.
The police have already ruled out any crime. There was speculation as to how the boy ended up in the sewer, but police said he crawled out to that spot on Tuesday and was unable to get out.
After firefighters pulled the boy out of the sewer, he was hospitalized for hypothermia, but there was no serious injury.
Local police broke the news on Twitter: “Eight-year-old Joe is alive!”
“Thanks to a resident’s tip, we were able to find Joe in the sewer system,” said police chief Johann Kühme.
“The most important thing is that he is alive and rushed to the hospital and in good hands here. We can all breathe a sigh of relief.”
The boy’s father told local media that Joe was “fine” under the circumstances.
