Video shows Kansas City police detective, officer save choking baby in hospital garage
A Kansas City Police Department detective and officer are credited with saving a choking baby after finding their frantic parents in a hospital garage earlier this month, the police department announced on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Surveillance video released on X shows Detective Lauren Montgomery and Officer Brett Ussary help the parents with the baby, who was not breathing.
Montgomery, who is wearing a gray jacket, was captured in the video setting her folio on the top of the parent’s car and administering blows to the baby’s back.
Meanwhile, Ussary rushed into University Health hospital, formerly Truman Medical Center, for help.
Montgomery dislodged an unspecified object from the airway of the baby, who began gasping for air and crying, police said in the social media post.
The officers came across the parents while they were leaving the hospital.
