A five-year-old Bicester boy has been hailed a hero after putting in a 999 call that saved his mother's life.

Jaden Ashton contacted the emergency services when he found his mum, Brina Ashton, in a diabetic coma in bed.

He told the operator that she was "in bed, not talking, with her eyes open".

Jaden went on to say that he normally gave his mum a cup of tea with lots of sugar in it to make her feel better.

The control room operators were able to deduce from this that his mother was in a diabetic coma and an ambulance was sent immediately.

His mum was quickly treated and she made a full recovery.

Chief Inspector Jack Malhi, who leads the team that recommends members of the public for commendations, has said he would now be putting Jaden's name forward.
