New South Wales Police Marine Area Commander Joseph McNulty described the situation as a “horrendous scene.” According to authorities, the boy lost consciousness and suffered considerable blood loss. “He is in for the fight of ⁣his life now, and the ‌actions of emergency services yesterday gave him that chance,” McNulty told reporters.

Before emergency services‌ arrived, two of ⁢the boy’s ⁢friends bravely entered​ the water – one to pull⁢ him from⁤ the water and ⁣the other to assist wiht ⁤the extraction. ⁣ “Those actions of those young men are brave under those circumstances – and very confronting ⁤injuries for those boys⁢ to see⁢ – but I suppose that’s mateship,” McNulty said.

Paramedics ​applied⁤ tourniquets to⁢ stem​ the ‍bleeding, and the boy was transported to hospital in critical condition.⁤ As of
