These images are hard to bear: a helpless baby gasping for air, surrounded by his family, who can only watch with a mixture of panic and helplessness what is happening before their eyes. Fortunately, the alerted police officer on site acts without hesitation and can save the child's life at the last second

If something gets stuck in a baby's windpipe, adults often do not know how to help the child – because they are too young and could be seriously injured for the Heimlich maneuver, in which the airways are freed by strong pressure impulses on the abdominal wall become. It is therefore correct to place the baby on the forearm and free the airways with pressure impulses on the shoulders. In the video you can see on the original recordings of the police camera how a human life could be saved just in time.
