POLICE were to honour a brave seven-year-old boy who rescued his baby sister from a child-snatcher.
Martin Walsh was playing in Barrowford Park when a stranger tried to abduct three-year-old April. The man was leading her away by the arm when Martin grabbed her and pulled her to safety.
Police rewarded Martin with a tour of county headquarters at Hutton.
