A seven-year-old boy crushed by an automatic gate at the Auckland Botanic Gardens six days ago has been discharged from hospital.
The boy suffered serious injuries when the electric gate at the exit to the gardens in Manurewa closed, trapping him between a rock wall and the heavy gate.
It look bystanders five minutes to free the boy who was rushed to Middlemore Hospital's Kidz First unit.
Kidz First spokesperson Lauren Young confirmed the young boy had been discharged from hospital.
The boy had been in the hospital's intensive care unit.
