Boy ‘brought back to life’ by rescuers at Bringaw Country Park

A father-of-two saved a toddler from drowning before two nurses rescued him from a Welsh beauty spot.

Stephan Johnson, who got into the water three weeks ago, was on a refreshing lesson. The incident at Bryngarw Country Park in Bridgend.

And they were about to enter a wedding ceremony when nurses Emma Brown and Kelsey Pirie swung into action.

CPR was performed on the three-year-old until an ambulance arrived and the boy was admitted to hospital in Newport, where his condition was declared stable.

Stefan, along with his partner Sophie and their three-year-old son George and three-month-old daughter Nora, decide to take an unusual walk in the park, when Sophie sees what she thinks is a child in a pond.

Stefan initially thought the toddler was swimming, before reality “clicked” and he jumped in and pulled him out.

“I was in the zone. It’s like I need to stay calm, I need to focus,” he explained, then struggled to find a pulse on his son.

As he started, Sophie started screaming for help. CPR, External.
