A Needham two-year-old on a flight from Pittsburgh to Boston was rushed to Massachusetts General when the flight landed in Boston, reported Fox Boston.

State police escorted an ambulance to the hospital, and it was reported the toddler was in cardiac arrest.

The pilot of the Jet Blue flight 1786 called to report the medical emergency, and Massachusetts Police met the ambulance at North Gate to Gate 31. Troopers closed the ramp at Route 1 briefly to let the ambulance through.

State Trooper John Morris, when he left the hospital said that the toddler had been revived.

Morris also told CBS Boston that a doctor on board the flight had “performed medical attention to the child that was very helpful with his survival.”

The child was traveling with his father, mother and brother.
