MALDEN, MASS. (WHDH) - A father and his young son were rescued after falling through the ice at a pond in Malden on Tuesday.

SKY7 HD flew over the scene at Fellsmere Pond, where state police say the boy fell in around 4 p.m.

His 32-year-old father jumped in to rescue him but ended up needing assistance as well.

Both were rushed to a hospital but there has been no word on their conditions at this time.

Carole Divendetto said she saw the two playing with a football before things went wrong.

“And I saw the police car on the other side and he said someone fell through and I said, ‘Oh my god, on the ice it’s on the other side go!’ So the other police officer ran over to there and I saw all these ambulances and the fire trucks,” she said.
