Horror bodycam footage shows the moment a hero cop saved the life of a choking baby that was turning blue because of something lodged in its throat.
Little Carlos, just one month old, was saved by a police officer from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. In a statement, the Colorado police force described the tense moments that unfolded as Deputy Nick Pacheco worked to save the child’s life with CPR.
The sheriff’s said: “Deputy Pacheco immediately started CPR on the baby with chest compressions followed by back thrusts. The baby started to respond and was trying to dislodge what was blocking his airway. Deputy Pacheco turned the baby onto its stomach and provided several more back thrusts when the baby suddenly coughed up a white substance.
“The infant then started to gasp for air and began to cry. The baby’s colour started coming back into his face and Deputy Pacheco handed him over to paramedics.”
