Heartstopping moment Michigan cop saves a three-week-old baby from choking as desperate mom looks on

A Michigan cop saved a three-week-old baby from choking as her desperate mom collapsed on the ground and helpless family members looked on.

Heartstopping video footage shows the moment Officer Cameron Maciejewski managed to revive the tiny infant girl after she choked and lost consciousness while drinking milk from her bottle.  

Maciejewski is caught on camera calmly unblocking the baby’s air way and reassuring the baby’s inconsolable mother – who is living out every parent’s worst nightmare – that her little girl is safe.

The nightmare scenario began when Sterling Heights police officers were called to a home in Waltham Drive just before 11 p.m. Thursday.

The footage, released by authorities, begins with the police cruiser racing towards the home with its lights flashing. 

People are seen coming out of the property to meet the cop as soon as the car pulls in.

‘Hey what’s going on with the baby?’ Maciejewski is heard asking. 

Inaudible cries are heard from the baby’s traumatized mom and Maciejewski calmly tries to get a handle on the situation.

‘Okay, calm down calm down,’ the cop is heard saying.  ‘Let me see the baby.’

The officer leaps into action, taking the baby – who is not breathing – in his arms and bringing her to the front of his police cruiser.

The hysterical mom desperately paces around the officer crying uncontrollably, while several other family members watch helplessly. 

‘He’s blinking, he’s blinking,’ says Maciejewski.

The cop then turns the baby onto her tummy on his arm and performs back thrusts to clear her air way.

The baby coughs up the obstruction and thankfully begins to cry. 

‘He’s crying, he’s crying, he’s okay,’ Maciejewski tells the baby’s distraught mom.  

‘It’s okay, he’s crying, he’s okay,’ he keeps saying.

The baby’s mom crumples onto the floor in distress and is helped to her feet by her family members.  

A distressed male asks the cop: ‘Is she okay? Is she breathing?’  

The officer calmly reassures them family the baby is okay.

‘She? Yeah she’s breathing. She was crying a minute ago. Yeah she’s okay,’ he says. 

‘She’s got a pulse and she’s breathing okay.’ 

Emergency services can be heard arriving off-camera to check over the baby and authorities learn that the little girl is just three weeks old and had begun choking when drinking milk. 

Sterling Heights police praised the calm, quick-thinking action of Maciejewski for saving the newborn’s life. 

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

‘Not only did the officer save the baby, but the officer did an outstanding job consoling the family.’ 

The baby was taken to a local hospital by the Sterling Heights Fire Department for evaluation.
