2:34Now PlayingOfficials at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport have released footage from a startling incident on Monday, during which a 2-year-old boy was injured after climbing onto a baggage conveyor belt and getting sent down to a TSA luggage room.
The airport had earlier confirmed that the boy was transferred to a hospital that afternoon.
“Officers with Atlanta Police and Atlanta Fire and Rescue responded to an incident at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Monday afternoon involving a small child who accessed the automated baggage screening system via the Spirit Airlines ticket counter,” said Hartsfield-Jackson in a statement shared with Fox News on Wednesday.
“The child was transported to a local hospital for observation and treatment. The Transportation Security Administration and other partners are also assisting with the investigation into the incident.”
She also said investigators told her that, after Lorenzo disappeared from view, he was taken on a five-minute journey that ended in the TSA bag room.
His hand was said to be fractured by the time he was retrieved. Vega added that she’s just grateful he’s still alive.
The boy’s mother, Edith Vega, told police she had set her son Lorenzo down for a moment while she printed a boarding pass, but by the time she looked up, he was already on the belt.
“I just went blank,” Vega told WSB-TV. “I wanted to jump in and try to go get him but they didn’t allow me. I was just freaking out and I’m, like, ‘Oh my goodness, I hope he’s OK. I hope he’s just enjoying the ride.’”
