Father praises response after baby blown into harbour water

The father of a baby boy who was saved after his pushchair was blown into water at a harbour by a gust of wind has praised the "amazing" response of the rescuers.

Six-month-old Sam Cooper-Stevens was swept into the water at Watchet Harbour, Somerset.

His father, Martyn Stevens, ran to the scene from his house as harbourmaster George Reeder pulled the boy out of the water.
