Michigan cop saves choking baby girl with ‘quick, calm’ response

A Michigan cop saved a weeks-old baby girl from choking — a feat chalked up to his “quick, calm” response, authorities said.

Sterling Heights Police Officer Cameron Maciejewski responded to the home last Thursday to find the distraught family holding the 3-week-old baby, who was not breathing, police said.

In dashcam footage released by police, Maciejewski can be seen taking the baby in his arms and performing back thrusts in attempts to clear the child’s airway.

The tot then coughed up whatever had been obstructing her breathing — and began to cry, police said. The object was not immediately identified.

“She’s got a pulse and she’s breathing, okay,” Maciejewski could be heard saying to crying relatives.

The baby was then brought to the hospital for evaluation.

“If it wasn’t for Officer Maciejewski’s quick, calm, lifesaving actions, the outcome of this incident could have been tragically different,” police said in a statement.

“Not only did the officer save the baby, but the officer did an outstanding job consoling the family.”
