The vehicle continues off down the street as Mr Mock comes to the child’s aid and attempts to wave down the car.

The car door can then be seen closing as the vehicle continues to drive.

Police said the child fell out of her mother’s car because the safety seat in which she was sitting had not been secured properly.
