(AP) — A 17-month-old boy has been hospitalized after being pulled from a private pond in Wichita.

The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department says the child was pulled from a pond early Monday. Police say he was taken to Wesley Medical Center in critical condition.

Wichita police Sgt. Kelly O’Brien says the boy apparently left the family’s house and fell into the man-made pond in the backyard.
