14-Year-Old Falls Through Ice at Pond in Berlin

A 14-year-old fell through the ice at a pond in Berlin on Monday.

Police said they received calls about two teens on the ice at Paper Goods Pond off of Main Street around 1:08 p.m.

The two 14-year-olds were ice fishing nearly 15 feet from an open water area on the pond when the police arrived. Police said the pond is up to 20 feet deep. 

An officer called for the teens to get off the pond and shortly after, one of them fell through the ice. 

Police called for a dive-in team but canceled it when he saw the teen come out of the water with the help of his friend. The two walked back to shore. 

The teen who fell through the ice was taken to the Hospital of Central Connecticut- New Britain General Campus for precautionary measures.

Police are urging people to stay off the ice.
