THIS IS the moment a classic car needed a push start after it broke down in the middle of Worcester Carnival.
Helpful carnival attendants rushed to the aid of the stricken motor helping to push it along Deansway.
A couple of people in the crowd also ran on to the parade route to lend a hand and get it back on the road again.
The 1950 Austin was part of a motorcade of classic cars and vehicles which made up part of the procession.
Onlookers cheered once the car managed to start back up again and carry on with the rest of the parade route.
It only caused a minor delay to the carnival which saw thousands line the street from Castle Street to High Street, Pump Street, City Walls Road and Deansway.
