A racehorse, Formidable Flame, bucks and crashes through the barrier into the spectators' enclosure at Southwell Racecourse, Nottinghamshire, yesterday, after breaking free from its starting stall

The horse crushes a pram containing seven-week-old Lee Marshall, being pushed by his parents

The horse continues its rampage through the enclosure until calmed by the outstretched arm of a racegoer

The baby survives unhurt and is carried away by his relieved but shocked mother
