A dad has issued an urgent warning after his son fell down a manhole and had to be taken to hospital.
Ryan O'Neill, wife Lyndsey and his three children, from Norris Green, had not long arrived at a holiday park they were staying at this weekend when little Jake, three, fell into the manhole next to the accommodation they were staying in. The 30-year-old claims the manhole cover was "insecure" and was "bent" and when Jake ran over it as he chased his football, he fell in.
The dad-of-three said he had to take Jake to hospital to be checked over as he was told by people on site it was a sewage drain. He said the manhole was around "5ft deep." The three-year-old suffered grazes to his chin, arms, legs and was bruised following the incident. Ryan wants to warn others "to avoid it happening again to anyone else."
