The incident happened shortly before 7pm in Dungannon, County Tyrone, a Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson told the PA news agency.

Officers used specialist breathing apparatus and a harness to rescue the boy from the four-metre-deep hole.

The boy was conscious but had suffered minor injuries to his back.

He was transported to Craigavon Area Hospital for further checks.
