Reacting quickly, she called the emergency services and rushed out to the child, continuing: "I ran downstairs, called the 999 and went out to him immediately.
"His grandad ran out, picked him and took him in the house. There were about six police cars that turned up, a paramedic, an ambulance and the air ambulance too."
Herts police confirmed the child was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
