A three-year-old boy sneaked out of a creche through a gap, walked more than half a mile, and was later found injured in a ditch.
CCTV footage shows how the toddler managed to squeeze himself through a narrow hole between the front door and the pavement.
After getting through, he jumped up and down and pumped his fists in the air in celebration.

He then went on a wander in São Paulo, Brazil, on Wednesday (26 Jun) morning.
He walked just over half a mile before falling into a ravine.
Locals later found him after hearing him crying.
They pulled him back up, as reported on Need To Know.
He had scratches on his face and body, which he’d sustained in the fall.
One of his finders shared a picture of him on social media in a bid to reunite him with his loved ones.
It was only 40 minutes after sneaking out of the creche that the boy’s mum was told her son had gone missing.
The case was reported to the police, but by the time officers could get involved in the search, the boy had been found.
The force will now investigate the creche staff for neglect of duty.
The Municipal Education Department said in a statement: “As soon as the pupil’s absence was noticed in the classroom after a recreational activity, management informed the parents and immediately checked CCTV footage.
“The pupil was found, without needing medical attention, and returned to activities at the Early Childhood Centre.”
