A 2-year-old boy was pulled unresponsive from a swimming pool at a North Haven house on Sunday afternoon, Southampton Town police said on Monday.

The toddler is still in the care of Stony Brook University Hospital after the incident, which occurred at about 12:30 p.m. on Sunset Beach Road.

Police from Southampton Town and Sag Harbor Village, along with a Sag Harbor emergency medical services team, responded to the call and performed CPR on the boy. He was first taken by ambulance to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, which transferred him to Stony Brook University Hospital for further treatment. Southampton Town Police Department detectives and code enforcement officers are investigating.

The North Haven incident on Sunday is the fifth near-drowning or drowning in a swimming pool reported at a Suffolk County house since June 28, according to the Suffolk County Police Department. Three of the four previous incidents involved children under the age of 10.
