A group of window cleaners helped get a hedgehog out of a prickly situation – by saving it from drowning.
Seven employees of the Archer Window Cleaning Services were cleaning the windows of an apartment block in?Ancoats, Manchester when they spotted the animal in distress in the Ashton canal.
Despite being on a deadline to finish the work, the men downed tools and used their own extendable poles to fish it out of the water.
Chris Oakes, 44, who runs Archer Window Cleaning, said: ?One of the lads spotted something in the water and he thought it might be a turtle or something at first.
?But when we got a bit closer we realised it was a little hedgehog.
