In a tense situation, Warren officer Brendan Fraser says he relied on his training after a mother feared that her baby was near death
WARREN, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit police officer is being praised as a hero for saving the life of an 18-month-old boy after he stopped a car for speeding.
Warren Police Department officer Brenden Fraser was watching for distracted drivers Tuesday when he stopped a Chevrolet Camaro going an estimated 75-80 mph (120-129 kilometers per hour).
“We got a baby in here dying!” the boy’s mother told him. The dramatic encounter was captured on police videocameras.
Fraser saw the baby was turning blue and his eyes had rolled back.
“I look inside, and there’s a child that’s having some kind of medical emergency when the uncle hands him over to me,” Fraser said.
“He had spit and all types of saliva around his mouth. It looked like he was maybe choking, so I put him on my forearm, and I administered a couple of back blows to him when I felt some saliva and vomit fall onto my arm.”
