A heroic Michigan police officer saved a baby who stopped breathing after he pulled over the child’s uncle for speeding in a Chevrolet Camaro Tuesday afternoon.
Dashcam footage captured the dramatic rescue by Warren police officer Brendan Fraser, who acted during a traffic stop when he heard panicked pleas from the 18-month-old’s mother.
“Please, help, we’ve got a baby here who’s dying,” the driver yelled in tears as police ran to the car, according to dashcam footage broadcast by local stations.
“I think he was racing somebody, or maybe he was trying to get away from something,” Fraser said of the driver, according to CBS Detroit.
“And then, really, now it makes sense when she hands the baby over. She heads to the hospital which is about three-quarters of a mile away.”
The car was on its way to the hospital and zoomed at least 75 MPH in a 45 MPH zone.

The driver handed the baby to Fraser, and the officer saw the child turn blue with his eyes rolled back in his head.
Fraser began giving the boy back blows in hopes of clearing his airway — all while trying to keep his mother and younger brother calm, the footage reported.
A liquid was spat out as the officer worked to save the child’s life.

“He’s breathing, look at him, he’s OK,” Fraser said, according to body camera footage reported by Fox 2.
“It’s a huge relief, for sure,” he said, according to CBS Detroit.

Although it was unclear what was wrong with the child, he was able to recover after he was taken to the hospital by first responders, according to the station.
“Officer Fraser’s actions in this traffic stop were heroic,” Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer said in a statement, according to the Detroit News.
“This incident shows that police work and traffic stops are not always about writing tickets or making arrests.”
