 This is the disturbing moment a dad smashed the front window of his car to rescue his baby from the heat in Texas. Footage captured at a car park in the city of Arlington shows the man using what appears to be a hammer to smash the glass as temperatures neared 40°C. Panic ensued as the parents realised they had locked their keys inside the sizzling vehicle with the baby, KRGV reported. People gathered around the car as the dad desperately took multiple swings at the glass before a second man arrived with a larger pole.

Harlingen Police confirmed the parents will not face any charges after the incident on Wednesday last week. South Texas Emergency Care Foundation, who were called to the scene, said the baby was treated within minutes. Director Rene Perez said the parents did the right thing in calling 911 right away. The National Weather Service has excessive heat warnings and heat advisories in place for much of the west and south 'When you have a child, particularly a child in a vehicle like that, 10 minutes is too long,' Perez said. 'So you really want to make sure that the baby is doing well, and it's best to have observations on the child just to make sure that they're compensating properly for the stress that they just went through.' It was unclear how long the child had remained in the car before being pulled out. Temperatures in Texas have remained high for weeks, with a summer average for some parts at 39.9°C. People have been trapped under a 'heat dome' that is expected to bring more record highs in the coming days. In May, three children died after being found unattended in vehicles in Texas, Florida and Washington State. The National Highwa){kind=link}
