In a Twitter post published by Spain's Guardia Civil the heroic officer is seen holding up the tot from the water. Other images published alongside it show more children being plucked from the waters and taken to safety. The Spanish government has since urged other mainland regions to relieve crammed reception centres for children in the North African enclave.
