Teens hailed as heroes after dramatic rescue of baby from car crash wreckage

This is the moment a group of heroic youngsters jumped into action to pull a young couple and a baby from a car after it flipped onto its side.
A photograph taken by a witness shows one of the rescuers on top of the vehicle after it crashed in Sturry Road, Canterbury, Kent.
Also pictured are a man and his 11-month-old son, who had been dragged from the wreckage by those who rushed to help.
The baby's mother, still trapped inside at the time, was soon helped out through a passenger-side window.
Robert Winstanley took the picture as he was walking to a supermarket at about 5pm yesterday.
He said: 'Just as I was coming to the Esso garage, I saw all of these youngsters, about 100 yards away, rush into the road.
'As I got closer, I could see a car had flipped onto its side, and some of them were standing on the roof trying to reach those trapped inside.'
Mr Winstanley says the group - believed to be aged in their late teens - pulled the father and baby from the car before rescuing the mother.
He added: 'I spoke to her while they were waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
'She was understandably in shock and crying, but they were all unhurt.'
Mr Winstanley described those who stepped in to help as 'heroes' who had put themselves at risk.
He said: 'It was really heartening to see, especially given what is often said about young people.
'The car could have turned into a fireball at any minute.
'After everyone was out of the vehicle, they were all shaking each other's hands and high-fiving each other.'
An off-duty police officer managed traffic until emergency crews arrived.
The road was blocked in both directions while the scene was made safe and the vehicle was recovered.

Keir Starmer claims Kneecap Glastonbury performance ‘not appropriate'

Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap are scheduled to perform at Glastonbury next weekend, despite controversy surrounding one of its members. Band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh has been charged under the Terrorism Act for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag at a London show last year. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated he does not think Kneecap's performance at Glastonbury is appropriate due to the ongoing court case. Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch called for the BBC not to broadcast Kneecap's performance, citing the charge and accusing the band of extremism. The band denies supporting Hamas or Hezbollah, calling the charge a distraction, and has publicly linked the issue to their support for Palestine.

Family pay tribute to charity co-founder fatally stabbed in north London

A woman who was found stabbed after a gas explosion at her home in north London 'gave her life to helping the vulnerable and the disadvantaged', her family have said. Annabel Rook, 46, was found injured at a house in Dumont Road, Stoke Newington, just before 5am on Tuesday, and paramedics were unable to resuscitate her at the scene. Rook worked for the charity she co-founded, MamaSuze, which supports refugee and migrant women, some of whom have fled domestic violence, with art and drama activities. In a statement issued via the Metropolitan police, her family said they were 'struggling to come to terms with this terrible tragedy'. The tribute read: 'We have lost our beautiful daughter, sister, friend and mother. Annabel was a truly wonderful woman. She touched the hearts of so many. 'She gave her life to helping the vulnerable and the disadvantaged, whether it was in refugee camps in Africa, or setting up MamaSuze in London to enhance the lives of survivors of forced displacement and gender-based violence.' The family asked for their privacy to be respected. A 44-year-old man was arrested at the address on suspicion of murder. He was taken to hospital and later discharged and taken into police custody, the force said. Police have said they believed the incident was 'domestic-related'. John Martin, the artistic director of Pan Intercultural Arts, where Rook worked with young refugees for 16 years until 2022, previously described her as 'a larger-than-life character' who had joined the charity as a volunteer. In a personal tribute, Martin said: 'Annabel's energy brought a lot to the women and gave them new hope. This was her speciality, I think – a sort of boundless optimism, a boundless self-confidence, which she transferred on to other people. 'She spent her life, certainly the 10, 12 years that I knew her, fighting [for] women who had been abused [and] fighting against violence to women.' MamaSuze said in a statement shared on Tuesday that it was 'devastated by the loss of our beloved co-founder' and that she treated everyone with 'warmth and kindness'. 'Annabel was a profound force for good in the world, dedicating her working life to supporting women survivors,' it said. Police were called at 4.57am on Tuesday to reports of a gas explosion with a person trapped inside the property. Rook was found at the scene with stab wounds. The front bay window of the property was completely blown out, and debris including plants, wooden shutters and glass was scattered across the street. Two children aged seven and nine were taken to hospital as a precaution after the incident. They are not thought to have been inside the home when the explosion occurred.
