At around 0300hrs, police were called to assist in the Aħrax tal-Mellieħa camp-site area after a 3 year old boy had walked away from his family members and could not be relocated.
Police officers convened immediately on site, along with the Civil Protection Department and a medical team.
Fortunately, the boy was seen mere moments after the searches at the cliffside kicked off.
He was immediately rescued by the Civil Protection members and taken to Mater Dei, where he was certified as having suffered serious injuries.
Police investigations are still ongoing.
