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.
