A man had fun with a prostitute in Hagen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia and left his three-year-old son in the hot car.

The boy was eventually rescued by passers-by and taken to hospital for treatment, according to police in Hagen on Tuesday.

The operation came about after a witness noticed the child sweating profusely in a child seat in the back seat of a car on Monday evening and alerted the police. The car, which was locked from the outside, was standing unprotected in the sun. The windows were open about one centimeter wide.
