The incident, officials said, occurred on Sept. 6.

According to the post, the child had first been reported missing and was later seen entering a nearby pond. Bystanders on the bank of the pond had told officers the child had gone underwater.

Officials said the child was brought safely back to the bank and has since been reunited with family.

No injuries were reported.
