- The footage was captured by Deputy Nick Pacheco in Centennial, Colorado
It’s the heartbreaking moment a hero cop rescues a month-old baby boy who was unconscious after choking on breast milk and cereal.
The footage, captured in Centennial, Colorado, shows Deputy Nick Pacheco rushing into the parents’ apartment and climbing the stairs to a bedroom.
He then carefully takes the child from his mother’s hands and pats his back forcefully because he was “blue, unconscious and not breathing”.
The boy, called Carlos, who was choking on a white substance but quickly spat it out, regained consciousness and began to cry.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office said, “He ran upstairs and found the mother holding her baby.

“Deputy Pacheco immediately started CPR on the baby with chest compressions followed by back thrusts.
“The baby was choking on a thick, white substance that turned out to be a combination of breast milk and baby cereal.”
The child was taken to Colorado Children’s Hospital to be examined by paramedics from South Metro Fire Rescue. He is now back home in good health.
In July, a rookie cop in Louisville, Kentucky saved the life of a seven-day-old baby after she suddenly stopped breathing.
Video showed Officer Nick Greene following a man past a Shorty’s convenience store in Louisville, Kentucky on Friday and running towards a red truck, where a woman was slumped in an apparent attempt to protect her infant daughter.

He then carefully picks up the child from his mother and forcefully pats him on the back because he was “blue, unconscious and not breathing”.
At the time, Greene’s partner Noah Cole, whose body-worn camera captured the entire ordeal, could be heard calling for an ambulance at the gas station at the intersection of 18th Street and Broadway .
Meanwhile, Greene leapt into action, gently slapping the seven-day-old baby’s back as he appeared motionless.
Finally, after a few tries, the girl could be seen crying as her breath caught and she started moving her arms.
