A father of five rescued a two-year-old child from a parked car after the boy's father allegedly left him alone for an hour to attend a job interview.

Robert de Oliveira, a business manager at Fairfax Community Newspapers, removed the child from the locked car after concerns were raised by some other office workers.

Mr de Oliveira said he tried to talk to the child, who was in his pyjamas, to see if he could unlock the car from inside.

When the child was unable to respond, Mr de Oliveira broke into the car with the help of a local truck driver using packing tape, a screw driver and an umbrella. Police arrived as they were unlocking the car.
