A worried passerby smashed a stranger's windscreen to rescue a baby boy from a baking hot car while his dad was shopping.
Angela Radtke, from San Antonio, Texas, saw the one-year-old locked in a supermarket car park and raised the alarm.
Despite being warned by security guards that she could be arrested for damaging the car, she told witnesses: "I don't care if I get arrested, I'm going to save this baby."
She then smashed through the windscreen with a tyre iron. Angela then climbed inside the car to pull the baby out - cutting her arms, legs and back on broken glass in the process.
When she pulled the baby out he had a temperature and looked red.
