Bodycam video of officer saving infant FL, USA

New video capturing the moment a Fort Pierce police officer jumped into action to save the life of a six-day-old baby girl who had stopped breathing. Police released the body worn camera video from the Nov. 15 incident.



The video shows Officer Jorge Goz, the CPR instructor for the Fort Pierce Police Department, repeatedly slapping the baby on the back. Seconds later, the baby starts to cry -- a sign that she's breathing again.



“Baby is breathing, conscious and breathing. Got her to breathe, “ Officer Goz said.



It started that night when the infant’s father called 911 after something with their daughter Alybree Dejesus Cerda went terribly wrong and she stopped breathing.



The family then started driving the baby to the hospital themselves.



Goz was patrolling nearby when he saw on the computer screen in his car that the parents and grandmother and baby were on their way to the emergency room.



“As soon as I saw that, I knew I had to act,” he said.



Given the distance they had to go, he didn’t think they would make it to the hospital in time. So he told the dispatcher to tell the couple to pull over at an intersection in Fort Pierce, where he met them and grabbed the baby girl.



The video shows Goz slapping the baby girl on the back.



“I got her! She’s fine. We got her,” he said to the worried parents, who were watching.



Goz knew something was probably caught in the baby’s throat. By repeatedly hitting the infant on the back, he was able to clear her airway of saliva and she began breathing again.
