(NBC NEWSCHANNEL) The quick action of a Kansas police officer saved a 4-year-old Topeka boy on the autism spectrum from drowning after the child fell into a pond on Sunday.
Video released Tuesday by police shows the valiant effort it took for officer Aaron Bulmer to rescue the boy from the water.

According to authorities, the child was walking around the pond when the officer tried to talk to him and he fell into the water.
