A Maryland State Trooper is being credited with saving the life of a choking infant in Cecil County, MD after an emergency unfolded during a traffic stop on February 14.
According to the Maryland State Police, around 9:44 am, Trooper First Class Nicholas Warren was conducting a stop on Walnut Drive in Elkton when another vehicle pulled up and the driver reported that their baby was choking.
Warren immediately called for emergency medical services and removed the infant from the vehicle to provide first aid. He performed back blows and was able to clear the airway, allowing the baby to begin breathing again. Paramedics later arrived to evaluate the infant, and officials said the trooper’s quick response and training helped prevent a more serious outcome.
