Baby trapped in car on hottest day of the year...

This is the moment police were forced to smash a car window to save a baby trapped inside on what was the hottest day of the year.

Smash hit: The police officer pulled the baby from the car after breaking a window

The eight-month-old tot was stuck in the car alone and without any fresh air coming in after its mother accidentally locked her keys inside the powerful Range Rover.

Britain basks in sizzling 27C weather - but it won’t last till the weekend
With temperatures reaching almost 23C yesterday, the baby's mother became increasingly distressed as the heat inside the car built up while it was parked up in Surbiton, south-west London.


The child was finally freed when an officer, PC Resteghini, arrived just after 12.30pm and smashed the car's window with his baton, opened the door and got the child out.

Speaking to Radio Jackie News, the officer said: "We used one of the batons to gain entry to the car...the baby was safe and well and the mother was OK."

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Police were called at 12.35 pm to Douglas Road following reports that a motorist had accidentally locked her keys in her car while her child was inside.

"Officers attended and the decision was taken to force entry to the vehicle.
"The baby did not require any medical treatment."
