FIREFIGHTERS were called in to rescue a young girl who had got stuck on a baby swing at a Southampton park.

A crew from Redbridge station were called out to Mansel Park, in Windemere Avenue, Millbrook, at 6.20pm yesterday to help the 12-year-old.

It took firefighters around five minutes to free her but it is not known whether the swing had to be cut to get her out.

It is thought to be the second time the girl has got stuck, but the first time fire crews were involved.
