NYPD Officers Save Choking Infant With Back Blows In Bronx

NYPD officers rush to save a choking infant after being flagged down by the child’s frantic mother.

Bodycam footage released by the NYPD captures officers responding on a tree-lined Bronx street on September 26. One officer takes the child and begins delivering back blows while holding the infant along his forearm.

The officer continues the back blows until the child’s airway is cleared within seconds. The infant is then held upright as other emergency responders arrive.

A fire truck and ambulance can be seen arriving at the scene, with the child taken for hospital evaluation.

The NYPD said its 44th Precinct officers were flagged down for the choking child and were able to clear the airway within seconds.
