Crews were dispatched at 2:40 p.m. to the creek near the Middletown Township border, where they found the boy with a pulse, but breathing shallowly, Middletown Township police chief Joe Batorilla told Daily Voice.
The boy was possibly submerged for about three to five minutes, and had some head trauma, Bartorilla said.
The boy was airlifted from the scene -- not far from Hoover Elementary School in Langhorne-- and taken to Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, according to Middletown Township Director of Fire & Emergency Management Jim McGuire.
The boy fortunately survived, according to a Facebook post by a family member.
Details surrounding the drowning were not immediately provided by authorities.
The Bucks County Rangers office did not immediately respond to Daily Voice's request for comment.
