Police officers and bystanders in the US state of New York have been filmed lifting a car to save a baby trapped underneath.
The frantic incident happened when a 43-year-old driver, David Poncurak, allegedly crashed into a car before careening across the road and into the storefront of a local barber shop in the town of Yonkers on Friday.
A woman had been crossing the street at the time with her eight-month-old daughter in her arms. The pair were hit by the car and thrown onto its bonnet as it smashed into the shop.

Two police officers were ordering breakfast at a bagel shop at the time and rushed over to investigate.
Once it was discovered that a baby was trapped underneath the car, the officers and other bystanders worked together to lift the car off the baby.
"Luckily, two veteran officers of Yonkers' finest just happened to be getting breakfast next door and quickly took action along with members of the community to rescue a child trapped under the vehicle and render aid to her mother," Police Commissioner John Mueller said in a statement.
"The actions taken are nothing short of heroic."
The mother and her baby were both left with serious injuries but are expected to survive.
The mother has a fractured femur and the baby suffered a skull fracture and third-degree burns on her back and foot, police said.
The driver, Poncurak, was uninjured. He has been charged with second-degree vehicular assault, a felony, and driving while intoxicated and second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle.
