Boy, 4, Gets Head Stuck Inside Metal Railing, Shock at What Happens Next

A mother captured the terrifying moment that the fire service had to release her son from a metal handrail after stuck her head.

Shacolbe Horn visited Baltimore with his son and a friend when the horrible incident occurred. While they were waiting for their bus to arrive outside the Baltimore World Trade Center, ready to bring them back to Washington DC, his 4 -year -old son, Quincy, began to slide from top to bottom of the metal handlebars outside the building.

Horn said Nowsweek that he slipped and moved between the handlebars “at least five times”, and that did not seem to cause problems. However, once the bus has arrived and it was time to leave, Quincy said he couldn’t move because he was stuck.

At first, Horn thought that he could not be stuck and asked her friend to help while she was loading the bags. But still his friend could not release him, it was clear that it was worse than she imagined it.

“I turned around to help, even using the lotion to slip it, but nothing worked,” said Horn.

“We could not miss our return home, so we had to call the police and alert the driver of what happened. We were helped by building workers, and a particular man helped a lot by keeping us all calm while we were waiting for Quincy to be saved.”

While the head of Quincy was already through the balustrade, the members of the fire service tried to lift it and to pass his body to a lateral angle. But he shouted in pain, so this option would certainly not work.

After about 17 minutes, more firefighters arrived with a large mechanical tool that could grant the bars enough so that Quincy can plunge his head. The firefighters also tried to put Horn’s concerns at ease by reassuring it that this “happened several times”.

Throughout the test, Quincy became incredibly frustrated, especially when it seemed that nothing was going to work. He was stuck between the bars for about 30 minutes in total, but it was such relief for all the people involved when he was finally free.

The firefighters were sure to put a smile on the 4 -year -old face later by allowing him to sit in the firefighter and get a picture. Currently, Horn did not have to pay a fine or a penalty.

“We are very grateful to help, and even the bus driver who waited for us and did not leave us there,” continued Horn. “Quincy was a bit shy because of the crowd and all the attention, but it was just happy to be released from the bars and see the fire truck up close.”

Horn captured images from the moment when her son was finally released from the metal balustrade, and she shared the images on Tiktok (@Servingco). In a few days, the video has become viral with more than 19.1 million views and more than 1.8 million likes at the time of the editorial staff.

There was a mixed online reaction, because many people wondered why Horn could not get Quincy out, nor how he even succeeded in this situation. However, Horn said that she chooses “to focus on positive” and appreciates all the support they have received.

The Tiktok video has already generated more than 31,700 comments, as many Internet users have praised emergency services to help Quincy so efficiently.

Another Tiktok user wrote: “His little laugh! So happy that he is safe!”
