Police Officer And Stranger Save Baby Who Stopped Breathing On Train Platform - Inspirational Videos

Two people, including a police officer, were in the right place at the right time and helped to save the life of a child who had stopped breathing.

Life is the most precious thing on earth. As such, it must be valued and protected at all costs. Loved ones can be here one minute and gone the next. The New Testament book of James describes our lives as a “mist.” It is “seen for a little time and then is gone.”

Understanding how precious life is, a video posted on YouTube shows a mother on a train platform frantically approaching a police officer when her child stopped breathing. 

The video shows a mother at a train station running up to the officer in hysterics. The woman hands her child over to the police officer, who then turns the child over, facedown, and starts rapidly patting the child on the back. 

Then, as the officer explains, someone else, a man who had been trained for such situations happened to walk up to the train platform.

“A retired paramedic came up, let me know that he is, you know, a retired EMT,” Officer Shaquille Perez said. “He took over, grabbed the baby, put him in the back seat of my squad car and needed some AC.”

The clip shows the retired emergency medical worker sitting with the child in the car, and seconds later, the child begins crying. 

The police officer and the retired EMT helped save the child’s life! The Lord placed those two individuals in the right place at the right time. 

However, the memory of the incident with the baby will remain with Officer Perez, who is about to become a father, for a long time. 

“Something about, like, having that moment with the baby, I think it’ll probably stay with me the rest of my life,” he said.

Psalm 34:17 “The righteous cry, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.”
