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.
