The recent tragedy of Julen, the deceased child falling into a well in Malaga, flew over Tuesday during some anguished minutes between neighbors and emergency services in El Albujón. The accident suffered by a child of 7 years, who was trapped from the waist down in a work pit when putting a foot in it, led the Local Police and Firemen to mobilize and act with special speed and expertise. After the initial nerves and anguish, everything was in a scare. With the help of the rescue team, the child surfaced with a smile on his face. He only suffered polyontusions in his legs, although he was transferred to the Santa Lucía Hospital for a thorough review.
Everything happened around four thirty in the afternoon. According to local sources, the kid was playing in the street Sierra de Gata when he put his foot in a tube about 45 centimeters uncovered and a meter and a half deep. It is a channel located on a private site where, a few years ago, some houses were left unbuilt.

After receiving a wake-up call, the Emergency Coordination Center of the Region (the 112) notified the firefighters of the City Council and the Local Police, as well as the emergency coordinating doctor. This mobilized a health unit, which came in an ambulance.

The agents found that the child was conscious and had been stuck in one knee and could not leave. The firemen had to make a small excavation around the pipe and cut a piece of it. Afterwards, they took it out in an upright position, grabbing him by the arms and provisionally covering the driving with stones.

Municipal officials informed the Civil Guard, to clarify what happened and investigate if there may have been negligence on the part of the owner of the land or if the registration cover was stolen. Other pipes in the area have metal covers and bolted.

Neighborhood complaint
The president of the Neighborhood Municipal Board, Ángel Nieto, said that in addition to this chest, there was another discovered. He also publicly denounced that residents have repeatedly asked the City Council to force the owner of the land to clean them. «This is covered with weeds and, in addition to rats, there is a security problem, because the boxes are not visible,» Nieto told La Verdad.
