Two young children in Georgia were rescued from a hot car in a mall parking lot last month thanks to bystanders who called 911 after hearing crying.

The Cobb County Police Department released bodycam footage of the rescue, which took place on June 4, on Monday.

Officers responded to Cumberland Mall after a woman dialed 911 around 1 p.m., reporting that a young boy and girl were trapped inside a hot car in the parking lot near Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Authorities stated that Dixon inflicted “cruel or excessive physical or mental pain” on the children, who are under 18, by leaving them in a vehicle without air conditioning for 41 minutes, as per the arrest warrant obtained by FOX 5 Atlanta.

It was revealed through bodycam footage that Dixon entered the mall at 12:24 p.m. Officers reported arriving at the scene at 1:03 p.m., shortly after the emergency call was received.

The high that day was 87 degrees, police said, and an infrared thermometer they used showed that the temperature inside the car reached up to 117 degrees.

“A big THANK YOU to the concerned citizens who called 911. Your quick action is the reason these kids are safe today,” Cobb County police wrote on Facebook. “You saw something and did something, and that made all the difference.”

Dixon was booked into the Cobb County Jail that day on $10,000 bond. He posted it the next day and was released, FOX 5 reported.
