WATCH: FDNY Rescues Kid Stuck In Washington Square Park Fountain

WEST VILLAGE, MANHATTAN — A huge crowd gathered at the Washington Square Park fountain on Sunday afternoon got to watch as firefighters rescued a child who had gotten stuck in the jets, according to video and officials.

The child had gotten stuck in the famed park fountain around 3:30 p.m., bringing more than a dozen emergency responders to the middle platform that typically sits in the center of a pool of water, according to an FDNY spokesperson and video.

The emergency responders used soap and water to free the child after draining the fountain's water, video shows.

The rescue, which happened within minutes, came along with cheers from a crowd of onlookers that gathered on the surrounding steps.

"Although it’s unclear how exactly the youth got themselves into this predicament, one thing can be said for certain: a situation such as this was no challenge for the cadre of firefighters responding to the scene," Citizen App, where onlookers broadcast the rescue, wrote.

The FDNY spokesperson did not have details on how old the child was, but said he refused medical attention after the rescue.

Sunday's rescue isn't the first time someone has run into trouble by going into the Washington Square Park fountain.

Back in 2013, a teen tourist was rushed to the hospital after her foot got stuck in one of the jets, giving her a bad gash, DNAinfo reported at the time.
