In the dashcam images released by the police, Maciejewski can be seen taking the baby in his arms and making thrusts in his back in an attempt to clear the child’s airways.
The girl then coughed up what had been clogging her breath and began to cry, police said. The object was not immediately identified.” He’s got a pulse and he’s breathing, he’s fine,” Maciejewski was heard telling his weeping relatives. The baby was taken to hospital for evaluation.
If it weren’t for the quick, quiet and life-saving actions of Officer Maciejewski, the outcome of this incident could have been tragically different, police said in a statement.
“Not only did the officer save the baby, but he did an exceptional job comforting the family.” You may be interested:City of Tenine in US issues its own currency in times of pandemicEfemérides of July 15Caracas and Venezuelan state around the country return to radical quarantine by COVID-19
