This footage shows a fast-acting officer heroically saving a one-month-old baby’s life who had stopped breathing.

Newsflash obtained the footage from the Kansas City Police Department, along with a statement according to which the incident took place in Kansas City, in the US state of Missouri.

The statement said: “Officer Richard DuChaine saved a baby’s life!”

Officer DuChaine and his partner, Officer Charles Owen, responded to a call about a one-month-old girl who wasn’t breathing.

DuChaine’s body-worn camera shows him arriving at the scene before the medical staff did and sprinting into the house, where the father handed the baby over to him.

He began infant chest compressions followed by back thrusts.

Thankfully, the baby started breathing again.

DuChaine turned the baby on her side, and Officer Owen checked for obstructions.

Sighs of relief can be heard all around the room when the girl finally comes to.

The brave officers even visited her in the hospital a while later, the police department said.

The Kansas City PD expressed gratitude towards the hero officers and thanked them for their incredible work.
