Distressing bodycam footage has captured the moment two police officers rescued a baby from a roasting car.

The Corona Police department in California shared the video to serve as a warning for residents as scorching summer temperatures continue to rise.

They were called to the scene on June 17 amid reports of a baby alone in a car with 'the engine off and windows up.'

'When officers arrived on scene, they observed the baby in distress, and breached a window to extricate him,' they said.

The footage shows the two officers rushing to the car and not hesitating once they realized the baby was inside.
