Rescuers from the Thamratsamee Maneerat Foundation cut apart the manhole cover to free the boy who got his leg stuck while playing outside with friends.

Neighbors complained that many of the sewer grates in the area are broken, with people putting feet or bicycle tires through them.

Residents point to the drainage system’s cover, complaining that the wide-spaced grating has caused serious injury to people who accidentally put their foot through it.
