A three-year-old boy has miraculously escaped uninjured after he plunged down a manhole.

The manhole wasn’t cordoned off and the boy was able to walk up to it without obstruction.
CCTV footage showed the boy slowly walk up to the manhole before stepping on it – as his parents desperately try and get to him before he falls
