The child was with his mother, who immediately tried to help him.
One witness had first aid training and rushed over to the boy, warning his mother not to move him.
"If they do any sudden movements, something could happen," said Heidi Lopez. "He might have had a back injury or anything like that, so I made sure no one was touching him or anything like that."
