It was an eventful day at Hersheypark in Pennsylvania. A child was seen walking along the monorail track, far above the crowd.
The incident was caught on video.
A child is seen walking on the tracks, while the crowd below keeps telling him to go to a man waiting on top of a building. When the child begins to approach, the man jumps up onto the tracks and grabs him.
How did the child get onto the track?
It seems that the child was reported missing after being separated from his parents at 5:05 PM.
While a park search was happening, the child somehow got into the secured monorail area and then accessed the track.
Thankfully, the monorail was not operating at the time.
The boy was reunited with his parents at 5:28 PM.
Hersheypark issued this statement,
“We are grateful for the vigilance of our guests and the swift response of our team, and we remain committed to maintaining the highest levels of guest safety throughout Hersheypark.”
Thankfully, this story ended well.
