A police officer and a retired paramedic worked together to help save a baby who had stopped breathing on the platform of a light rail in Mesa, Arizona.
"He took the baby from my arms, and we put him in the backseat of the squad car under some A/C, and baby was breathing," Perez said. The child can be heard on video giving a loud cry while in the arms of the retired paramedic, who then began to soothe the baby.
The Mesa Police Department wrote in a caption for the bodycam video that Perez was"in the right place at the right time" "It’s an amazing feeling to know I was able to intervene and help potentially save that baby’s life," Perez said.Paramedics arrived and evaluated the child. Police said the baby is now safe.
