Police officers in Orlando, Florida, has to race against time as a 2-year-old boy was accidentally locked in an SUV during the heat of the day.

The boy, Apollo Rubin, locked himself inside the vehicle after snatching the car keys from his mother, Sac Rubin.

"[Sac] went to shut the door. Apollo grabbed the key from her hand as she shut the door,' father Ken Rubin told News6. "We heard the click when Apollo hit the lock on the fob."

Luckily an Orlando police officer was on patrol in the area and came over to help rescue the boy. Firefighters were also called to the scene to assist.
