POLAND, Maine (AP) A 4-year-old boy was pulled from Range Pond and rushed to a hospital on Friday, police said.

The boy’s mother called authorities late Friday morning to report that the boy had gotten away from her on a walk and that she was unable to find him, the Sun Journal reported.

The Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office searched for him along with a K9 unit from Maine State Police, the newspaper said.
