Lexington animal control employees find child wandering busy road
Two Lexington-Fayette Animal Care & Control employees are credited with helping to protect a child found wandering a busy Lexington road Monday.
The employees, a recruit and a sergeant, were on their way to a call when they noticed the boy along an unspecified stretch of New Circle Road. The employees stopped and kept the boy safe until police arrived to assist.
“This is a reminder that some children — especially those on the autism spectrum, like this young boy — may not recognize danger, and how vital it is to have people like these officers watching out for them,” animal care and control wrote in a Facebook post.
“Thank you to everyone who helped keep him safe—and to our team, who never stops watching out for those who need a little extra help.”
Additional information about the incident was not immediately available.
