New Westminster, B.C. resident hailed as ‘heroic’ for rescuing child stuck in garage door – BC | 24CA News
A New Westminster, B.C. resident is being hailed as “heroic” for his or her position in rescuing a baby who was injured and caught in a storage door on Sunday night.
According to the municipality’s police division, the neighbour rushed over to the Agnes Street residence once they heard a mom’s “distress” as her little one was caught within the shifting elements of the house’s storage door.
By the time police, paramedics and firefighters arrived, the kid had been freed and was being cared for by numerous bystanders.
The New Westminster Police Department didn’t elaborate on the extent of the kid’s accidents.
“This person heard someone in distress and came running to their aid,” Sgt. Andrew Leaver stated in a Monday news launch.
“They ran out of their residence not knowing what they were going to encounter, and when they saw the child they acted quickly to free them.”
In the identical launch, New Westminster Fire and Rescue Service Chief Erin Williams referred to as the neighbour’s initiative “heartwarming.”
