Firefighters rescued a young boy who got stuck while climbing up a playground slide.

The six-year-old scaled the outside of a tube-shaped slide in Battersea Park yesterday morning, but could not get back down.

Fire crews from Clapham Fire Station came to his aid at about 11.15am.

A fire fighter walked down the slide with the boy, using special equipment to make sure he was safe.

The youngster was then reunited with his worried parents.
