Police officer praised for saving baby’s life during traffic stop in suburban Detroit.

A Heroic Act: Police Officer Saves Toddler’s Life

WARREN, Mich.—In a heart-stopping moment, ​a suburban Detroit​ police officer has emerged ⁤as a true hero after rescuing an 18-month-old boy from a life-threatening situation during a routine traffic stop.

Officer Brenden Fraser of the Warren Police Department was diligently monitoring the roads for distracted drivers⁢ when he spotted a Chevrolet Camaro zooming by at an estimated ⁤speed of 75–80 mph (120–129 kilometers per hour).

“We got a baby in here dying!” exclaimed the distressed mother of the child.

Fraser immediately noticed that the baby was​ turning​ blue, and‌ his eyes⁢ had rolled back in distress.

“I ⁣look inside, and‍ there’s ⁢a child that’s having⁣ some kind of medical‍ emergency when the​ uncle hands him over to me,” recounted Fraser. “He ⁤had spit⁢ and all types of saliva around his mouth. It looked like he was maybe choking, so I put‌ him on my forearm, and I administered a couple of back⁣ blows ⁣to him when I felt some saliva and vomit fall onto my arm.”

Thanks to ⁢Fraser’s ‍quick actions, the ‍baby started breathing again.

“Watching it ⁤now, it’s kind of overwhelming, but in ​the moment there’s‍ really not much thought other than relying on the training,” Fraser humbly shared.

Warren Police Commissioner ⁢William Dwyer expressed⁤ his admiration, ⁣stating, “Officer Fraser’s actions ⁢on this traffic stop are nothing short of heroic. This incident shows that ‍police work and traffic stops are not always about ⁣writing ​tickets or making arrests.”

The family involved has chosen to‍ remain anonymous.
