A FOUR-year-old Brit boy had to be rescued after his hand was sucked into a swimming pool pipe at a hotel in Majorca.

The horror unfolded on Sunday at Hotel Zafiro in the Spanish holiday resort Can Picafort after the boy put his hand into an uncovered skimmer outlet.

As reported by Diaro de Mallorca, when the unwitting child inserted his hand into the opening, a suction vacuum formed, entrapping his arm within the compact structure.

The harrowing accident then sparked a desperate rescue mission.

Emergency services then rushed to the hotel and found the boy stuck inside the pool.

They first tried to pull the boy out manually, but once this failed they resorted to draining the entire pool.

Once the whole pool was emptied using pumps, the team dug out the pipe which had sucked the child in.

The four-year-old was also give a helmet and earmuffs while rescuers worked to free him.

Thankfully after 30 minutes, the boy was released from the tight pipe.

He was taken to hospital for examination.

But luckily he did not sustain any serious injuries.

A court is now probing whether or not the hotel could be held responsible for negligence, local media reported.

A hotel spokesperson informed MailOnline: “Our team immediately triggered the emergency protocols, alerting the emergency services and firefighters, who promptly arrived at the location.

“The pool was emptied urgently to facilitate the actions of professionals.”

This allowed them to “release the minor as soon as possible, who is now in good condition, under hospital observation”.

They added: “The family has expressed their gratitude to us for the quick response of the entire team.

“This was an unpredictable event that is currently undergoing a comprehensive review to implement any needed corrective actions and to enhance our safety protocols.”

The petrifying accident comes after a “precious” four-year-old boy who died on holiday in Tenerife, Spain, was set to be laid to rest.

Edward James Watson Massey passed away following a swimming pool accident just before 5pm local time on Thursday, May 22.

And in November a “cheeky” five-year-old Brit boy drowned in a hotel pool just one day into his first family holiday abroad.

Kelan Logan-Derench was discovered in the water at the Mirette Hotel in Hurghada, Egypt, without his armbands on.
