However, the boy was unconscious when being conveyed to the hospital.
His mother was very distraught at the scene.

Abel Tan Yew Hong, 28, pleaded guilty to 3 counts of insulting the modesty of a woman, with another seven charges considered during his sentencing.
Tan was sentenced to 11 weeks of jail on Friday, 16 April.
Tan was an engineer who took upskirt videos of his victims on escalators, standing behind them and filming them with his Sony Xperia phone.
On 5 September 2019, he followed his victim up 3 flights of escalators to take her upskirt video at Serangoon MRT station.
He was caught on 10 September 2019 when he was filming another video at Bedok MRT station, where a man saw him taking the video and stopped him.
He was then taken to the MRT staff, who called the police on him.
His phone was then seized and examined, and his offences then came to light.
Tan’s defence lawyer said that Tan had become interested in upskirt videos online, noticing that some of the videos were high quality while some were low quality.
He added that his intention was “merely to experiment and find out if his mobile camera could take the high-quality videos he saw on the internet.”
Tan is currently out on bail of $5,000 and is due to surrender himself on 26 April to begin serving his sentence.
McDonald’s Singapore shared a tear-jerking, Ramadan-related video on their Instagram page about their Malaysian workers who are stuck in Singapore and unable to be with their families during Ramadan.
The video was created to promote My Happy Table, McDonald’s new initiative
The video shares the stories of a few Malaysians, including Samsuri, who is working here as a delivery rider.
Initially thought he’d stay for 2 weeks
Samsuri had initially thought he was only going to be in Singapore for 2 weeks.
But a little over a year has sine passed since he’s been home in Malaysia, due to the Covid-19 pandemic closing the Malaysia-Singapore borders.
He shared how he has seven sibling, a wife and a daughter who is turning two soon; all of whom are in Malaysia.
He said that Ramadan this year is very different because he won’t be able to break fast with his family at the same table, and that he is spending it alone this year.

He revealed that he considered going back when his family needed him during occasions such as when his father had a stroke, or when his house was flooded.
But he decided against it because of his commitment to his work, to support his family.
Another employee, Rozaini, is also a Malaysian working in Singapore.
She said that all she wants is to hug her family, if she could return to Malaysia.
See the thing about time, it isn’t the main thing; time is the only thing.
Three months feel like three years
Rozaini shared how three months here have felt like she hasn’t seen her family in three years.
Just like Samsuri, Rozaini shared that she has to push through because of her responsibility to work and earn for her family, which is more important than anything else.
