When paramedics arrived, the little boy was in cardiorespiratory arrest. A 7-year-old child was violently hit on Sunday by a donkey in Obies (Nord) near Maubeuge, according to La Voix du Nord. The animal seriously injured the boy by kicking him in the chest.
It was the father of the little boy who first gave him the first aid gestures, specifies France Bleu. When they arrived, the emergency services resuscitated the little boy and transported him to the Regional Hospital Center (CHR) in Lille. He is in serious condition. In “absolute urgency”, says France Bleu again. According to La Voix du Nord, the animal was domesticated.
The exact circumstances of this accident, which occurred at the home of the little boy, are not yet known. The gendarmes arrived on the spot.
