OAKLAND, Calif. — Oakland firefighters and police officers quickly smashed a car’s window to rescue an infant trapped in a hot parked car Monday.
It was only after getting inside the car that they realized the infant was actually a lifelike doll in a car seat, reported KGO.
“Although this incident did not involve a baby or small child, it was unknown at the time,” Officer Johnna Watson, Oakland Police Department told ABC News.
The infant manikin was in a car seat, but it is not clear why it was in the car and police did not say if they have talked with the car’s owner.
“Fortunately, it was not a baby or small child,” Watson said.
