FIREFIGHTERS rescued a toddler who inadvertently locked himself in his mother's car in Broad Green this morning.
The boy, who was around 3 or 4 years old, was trapped alone in the car in Canterbury Road for around half an hour after pressing the lock with the keys still inside at around 11am.
But the quick-thinking crew from Norbury fire station managed to unlock the vehicle with a coat hanger to reunite mother with son.
One crew member told the Advertiser: "The kid must have locked the mum out and she was quite worried, but we were able to get him out fairly quickly."
