Praise has been heaped on a brave 5-year-old called Harry who rang ‘999’ to say a family member was in trouble.
A post on Police Mid Ulster added last night (April 17) says: “ On Tuesday, we received a 999 call from 5 year old Harry to say that a family member was in trouble, and he needed the police to help.
"Thanks to Harry’s quick thinking, Magherafelt Policing Neighbourhood Team and the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service were able to get on scene quickly and step in to prevent any harm coming to the family member.
"Young Harry truly is a hero!”
The post was met with much congratulations online.
