Elijah Hamby, 4, wandered down to the pond near his home in Topeka, Kan., Sunday. He wandered to the pond after he somehow unlocked the back door of his house.
Officer Aaron Bulmer happened to be at the park on an unrelated call and when he spotted the boy heading to the water without any adult in sight, the cop quickly jumped into action to save the child.
Today, the boy is doing just fine and the two have reunited. When they met, the child gave the hero cop a big hug.
Elijah’s' mom, Jaclyn, said she can't thank the cop enough for rescuing her son.
"I am so thankful Officer Bulmer was where he was to save Elijah," she said.
“He was flailing, gasping face down in the water,” the officer told Inside Edition.
