The incident, which unfolded in the 700 block of Alma Street around 3 a.m., prompted immediate medical attention, as reported by WREG. According to Memphis police, the child, whose age has yet to be confirmed but is speculated to be a teenager, was transferred to LeBonheur Children’s Hospital not by ambulance, but by a private vehicle.
