A university police officer is being hailed a hero after she saved the life of her choking colleague last week when she performed the Heimlich maneuver.
Surveillance footage shows officer Julie Wilk rushing to help the unnamed woman at an office at the University of Central Florida.
In the video, the choking woman starts to panic and points at her throat.Another female employee in the office rushed over to try and assist the woman. The employee started the Heimlich maneuver but stopped when Wilk ran over.
Wilk got behind the woman and started the Heimlich maneuver.
The video only showed 23 seconds of the incident as Wilk continued the Heimlich maneuver and appears to call for help on her radio.
Wilk was able to help the woman cough up what she was choking on.
The incident occurred on International Women's Day last week, which made Wilk's actions 'especially meaningful,' spokeswoman Courtney Gilmartin told the Orlando Sentinel.
'Though UCFPD officers do great things all the time, it was especially meaningful for a female officer to save another woman's life on International Women's Day.'
Gilmartin said Wilk hopes the incident encourages others to learn how to do the Heimlich maneuver and get CPR certified.
Wilk has been with the department since 2011.
