The crew opted to cut the wire from the pram so the young girl could be taken to hospital in an ambulance with her family.
‘The wire was embedded in the lower eyelid of the child which was attached to the pram,’ a Queensland Ambulance Service spokeswoman said.
‘There was no injury to the eyeball and the child was transported to Townsville Hospital.’
The spokeswoman said it was unusual for paramedics to remove objects attached to patients at the scene of an incident.
A spokeswoman for Townsville Hospital told Daily Mail Australia the girl had since been discharged from hospital. There was no injury to her eyeball.
