Mr Asher rescued the baby from the open car and gave the child water as emergency services rushed to the scene.
‘We were driving down the road and I looked over to my right and I saw the male and female laying on the ground,’ he told InsideEdition.com.
‘We later saw that they were purple.’
‘The child was covered in sweat. We gave the baby some water – that was our priority.’
A bystander then called 911. Mr Asher said the child’s mother later rang him to thank him for saving their daughter.
She told him they were heroin addicts and had relapsed after being clean for two years, he said.
The child is now being looked after by a relative.
Court records show the parents have been charged with endangering a child and released on $1,000 bonds.
