NYPD officers resuscitated a 1-month-old baby in Queens after the child stopped breathing, police said Monday.
Body-cam footage shows police rush into an apartment near 24th Ave. and 27th St. in Astoria around 4:41 p.m. on Oct. 1, then take turns performing mini chest compressions with their fingers on the lifeless infant.
A woman can be heard telling the cops the baby vomited earlier, and one of the officers asks, “There’s nothing in his mouth, right?”
After police pump on the child’s tiny chest for about a minute and a half, a voice can be heard saying, “He’s breathing. He’s breathing.”
Earlier this month, officers from @NYPD114Pct responded to a call for a one-month-old baby who stopped breathing.
