Overview
- On Oct. 10, two NYPD officers responded to a 911 call and found a 10-month-old unresponsive from an airway obstruction in a Queens home.
- Body-worn camera video shows an officer turning the baby over and delivering firm back blows until the blockage cleared and the child began to cry.
- EMS transported the infant to Elmhurst Hospital Center in stable condition, and the family later took him home after observation.
- Parents Azia Rodriguez and Brandon Laboy viewed the footage this week and publicly thanked the officers, saying their quick action and training saved their son.
- Both officers have less than two years on the job, and coverage notes their CPR preparation under Briana’s Law, which mandates initial training and biennial recertification.
