KISSIMMEE, Fla. — (WESH/NBC) - Police officers in Central Florida were in the right place at the right time when a baby began choking.
Body camera footage shows the dramatic moment the child’s mother, Amanda Zimmerman, handed her 18-month-old son, M.J., over to Kissimmee officers.
Zimmerman managed to flag them down when M.J. stopped breathing after choking on a goldfish cracker.
Eventually the officers put the little boy on his back and began performing CPR until he let out a gasp.
When the Kissimmee Fire Department arrived, they took the little boy to the hospital where doctors said he was going to be just fine.
"Being without oxygen for that long and then just coming out? You know, he didn't miss a beat," Zimmerman said.
She said she is thankful to all the officers that helped save her son.
