Emergency services were called to the scene around 5pm, where they found the boy suffering from the injury. Four 18-year-old males and a 44-year-old woman were also present when authorities arrived at the unit.

The boy was transported to a hospital for life-saving treatment, accompanied by his mother, who expressed her distress over the tragic incident.
