A martial arts expert dubbed 'Stockport Spider-Man' for raising the spirits of kids during the first national lockdown has been at it again - this time rescuing a panicking boy aged four who was stuck on a fairground slide 50ft in the air.
Jason Baird, 36, from Reddish, was on a day out with his partner and two children when he spotted a youngster struggling at the top of a 'helter skelter' slide at the Geronimo family festival at Arley Hall in Cheshire on Sunday.
The lad had slid only a short way down the slide when he had second thoughts and tried to climb back up just as other children were beginning to follow him down, leaving the boy teetering on the edge some 50ft in the air. Seeing the boy in distress, Jason ran up and scooped the sobbing child into his arms and slid back down to safety.
