A Marietta police officer saved the life of a 2-month-old, and the entire thing was caught on bodycam video.
Nick St. Onge, a five-year police veteran, performed infant CPR on the baby who wasn’t breathing and appeared lifeless.
The video shows St. Onge quickly and calmly performing CPR on the baby while the child’s nervous grandmother, Kianna Dorsey, paced back and forth.
St. Onge told Channel 2 Action News he took a CPR training class in February, and his nine years of experience as a Marine helped him stay focused.
After about two minutes of back blows and compressions, the baby began to cry, the video shows.
The grandmother told the officer the baby stopped breathing after she was bottle fed, Channel 2 reported. She said St. Onge was her hero.
“I’m just the guy who showed up to do what he had to do,” St. Onge told Channel 2. “I would probably describe it as three minutes of terror followed by a lot of joy.”
