Overview
- A 10-year-old visiting Munich's Englischer Garten became stuck up to his hips in a hidden mud pocket and needed help from firefighters.
- The ground was so waterlogged that he sank fast after stepping into what looked like a shallow puddle.
- His accompanying supervisor tried to pull him out and then called Feuerwehr München when that failed.
- Crews reached him near Gyßlingstraße, found him anxious but outwardly unhurt, threw a rescue line, and pulled him free before washing off the mud.
- He left the scene uninjured with his companion, in an incident the fire service relayed to local outlet tz.de as a reminder that saturated park soil can hide soft spots.
