A video showing two young children being shocked after touching a swimming pool’s metal handrail in Florida has emerged. In the video, it can be seen that they became paralysed momentarily before they were pulled by adults.
The CCTV footage shows several people, both young and adults in a pool at an apartment complex in Hialeah when one girl suddenly freezes. Her father came to her aid right away and pulls his daughter to safety. Just seconds later, another girl is seen paralysed as her hand got stuck to the railing. Her grandfather runs in and pulls her out.
Reports confirmed that there was another 10-year-old boy who got shocked. All of them survived and went home after spending four nights in the hospital.
