ORLANDO, FLA. (WSVN) - Newly released body camera videos shows the moment two Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputies rescued a child with autism from a retention pond.

The child was found treading water on Saturday after running out of his Orlando-area home.

“Right here, buddy. Look, come here, buddy. Come here, buddy. Come on, swim to me,” a deputy could be heard saying.

The two deputies rushed into the water to pull the child out.

He was reunited with his parents and taken to a hospital for evaluation.
