In an interview with a media house, the little boy explained that he was trying to open the bottle with his hand as he was thirsty but failed. “And then I started it with my teeth and then I was squeezing it a little and then the water pushed the cap to my throat,” said Robert.

“I saw he needed help and I just sprung into action to help him. He couldn’t breathe, his face was pretty pale and he had a look of desperation on his face,” the teacher said.
