The video shows the man stopping his car on a busy street in Minnesota, he then exits his vehicle and starts waving his hands in an effort to stop oncoming traffic as he picks up the child, who was still in the car seat. The man then pulled his car over on the side of the road while the child's mother came back for the child.
According to ABC News, the baby had fallen from the rear driver's side of her mother's car. Although the mother strapped her child correctly to the safety seat, the seat itself was not correctly fastened to the seat in the vehicle. It's unclear how the door opened, leading to the child falling out.
