MOSCOW, February 18. /TASS/. A six-year boy who had spent the whole night in Moscow’s Elk Island National Park eventually turned up alive and unharmed, a law enforcement source informed TASS.
“The boy got lost the day before near Elk Island National Park. His parents tried to find the child on their own, but to no avail. At about 6am Moscow time, the boy’s mother came to a police station to file a written note about his disappearance. However, at around 9am the child got out of the forest all by himself and headed to a gasoline filling station in Moscow’s eastern Golyanovo district. The employees there called the emergency services,” he said.
According to the source, doctors examined the child. According to preliminary data, he is fine.
The press service of the Russian Interior Ministry’s Moscow Department has confirmed to a TASS correspondent that the child had been located. “The boy has been found. All circumstances surrounding his disappearance are being established. He is not in danger anymore, he’s out of the woods now,” the police stated.
