A quick thinking five-year-old has helped to save his mother's life in the UK, after he rang emergency services when she fell unconscious.
Josh from Shropshire in England made the call from his home last month, when he found his mother lying on the floor after she had slipped into a diabetic coma.
After dialling 112, which was the number he spotted on the side of his toy ambulance, he was connected to a police communications operator.
The 112 number is the single European emergency number, which provides the same purpose as 999.
Shortly after receiving the call, officers arrived and found the boy and his younger brother in the house.
Their mother was lying unconscious on the floor and paramedics were able to treat her.
Local police commander, Superintendent Jim Baker, said: "This was an incredible thing for Josh to do, his quick thinking saw him ring the number on his toy ambulance as he was worried about his mum.
"He was very brave and stayed on the line while we were able to get to the family’s home and make sure his mum got medical assistance.
"Josh has already proved he would make a brilliant police officer in the future, hopefully we'll see him again when he's old enough as a new recruit".
Following the incident, Josh was shown around his local police station by officers.
