A “local hero” saved a three-year-old and her mother from a car which had become trapped in flood water caused by Storm Henk.

Liam Stych, 28, saw the vehicle wedged under a bridge at 4.15pm on Tuesday in Hall Green, Birmingham, and heard a woman screaming “Help me, help me, please save my baby.”

Footage of the dramatic rescue has emerged on social media showing Mr Stych clambering across a footbridge while holding onto the railing and pulling the child out of a white Fiat Punto window to safety.

West Midlands Police hailed Mr Stych as a “local hero” but the dad-of-two insisted he just acted “on instinct”.
