The officer, identified by police as Troy Ellison, can be seen running through the area before locating the child, who is clinging onto the edge of the ice with his body submerged. The officer then crawls onto the ice and ultimately pulls the child up and off the ice.
The child was taken to hospital to be checked for weather-related injuries.

"Be mindful that no matter how cold the temperatures get this winter, playing on the ice is never safe," read a post published by the Jonesboro Police Department on Facebook. "Luckily, this call had a very happy ending."
