Officers Save 4 Year Old Choking ChildLast night around 9:47pm, officers from District 2 on patrol in the area of Dudley St. and Shirley St. observed a hysterical woman with a child in apparent distress. Officers immediately responded and determined that child was unable to breathe due to an obstruction in her airway. The child was convulsing with her eyes rolling back and appeared to be on the verge of becoming unconscious. Officers immediately requested an ambulance and administered medical assistance by performing the Heimlich maneuver on the child. In so doing, officers were able to partially dislodge the obstruction from the child’s throat allowing her to breathe until EMTs arrived on scene. EMTs, shortly thereafter, responded to the scene and transported the victim to Children’s Hospital where she was treated and released.
