In Corona, Queens, a 10-month-old infant’s life was saved by the quick actions of two NYPD officers after the child stopped breathing.

New parents Asia Rodriguez and Brandon Laboy experienced a heart-stopping moment earlier this month when their beloved son, Makai, faced a life-threatening situation. Fortunately, the swift response of two dedicated officers ensured a happy outcome.

“I can’t express my gratitude enough. I’d hug them and never let go,” Rodriguez said with heartfelt emotion.

The incident, captured on the officers’ body-worn cameras, shows the urgent response to the distress call about the baby. Makai had ceased breathing, prompting a race against time.

Makai had been peacefully napping when Rodriguez, closely monitoring him, witnessed him vomiting and choking via the baby monitor. Acting swiftly, she rushed to his side and dialed 911 for immediate help.

He had been down for a nap. Rodriguez was glued to the baby monitor just in time to see him throw up and start to choke. She immediately ran to him and called 911.

“He’s my life and I’m going to make sure every second counts and make sure I save him,” she said.

When two officers from the 115 Precinct showed up, Makai wasn’t breathing.

One of the officers took the baby, dressed in police pajamas, and patted his back, dislodging an obstruction.

It wasn’t until they saw the video Tuesday night that Rodriguez and Laboy realized how close they came to tragedy.

“It’s just incredible with the right training and what they’re doing, they saved his life,” Laboy said. “In those moments you can’t understate how good the training that they had is. So, it’s an awesome thing to see.”

“If I could see them, if they could come to my house directly and I could shake their hand and hug them, I would hug them,” Rodriguez said. “Just God bless them. Whatever blessing they can be offered in life that they are offered them, because they absolutely did what they were supposed to do and my son’s here because of them.”

All New York cops are required to be certified in first aid and CPR, and it sure paid off for the two officers. Both of them are rookies with less than two years on the job. Now they’re responsible for a save they will remember their whole careers.
