A Michigan family is relieved and grateful after a Sterling Heights police officer saved their choking baby last week.
Officer Cameron Maciejewski, a tw0-year veteran, arrived on the scene and quickly took charge, flipping the 3-week-old girl onto her stomach and getting her to expel the obstruction blocking her air passageway.
The mother collapsed in tears when Maciejewski announced the little girl was breathing and crying.
The officer’s patrol car dash cam captured the entire scene.

Sterling Heights police Chief Dale Dwojakowski said the entire department was proud of Maciejewski, ClickonDetroit.com reported.
“When a baby isn’t breathing, it’s stressful enough, but to arrive on scene and have the entire family run up to him — he knows it’s bad and he’s calming them down while providing medical attention to the infant,” Dwojakowski said.
The city’s fire department arrived and took the baby to the hospital for an evaluation, according to Fox 2.
