Powerful winds in Ukraine blew a baby stroller—and the 3-year-old strapped inside—into the frigid waters of the Black Sea, sparking a commotion that saw the child’s mother and a passerby dive in to mount a rescue.

The incident took place on Monday, March 11, the BBC Ukraine reported, at a time when the Eastern European country was being pummeled by strong winds that uprooted trees and ripped roofs off buildings.
