A life was saved in Corona, Queens, when two NYPD officers came to the aid of a 10-month-old baby who had stopped breathing.

Asia Rodriguez and Brandon Laboy are navigating the joys and challenges of being first-time parents.

Their son, Makai, who is just ten months old, is the light of their lives. Earlier this month, they faced a terrifying moment that could have ended in tragedy if not for the quick actions of two heroic NYPD officers.

“I would express my deepest gratitude to them. I’d hug them and never want to let go,” Rodriguez shared emotionally.

Footage captured by body-worn cameras reveals the dramatic rescue as two of New York’s Finest responded swiftly to the distress call, finding Makai in a critical state.

He had been down for a nap. Rodriguez was glued to the baby monitor just in time to see him throw up and start to choke. She immediately ran to him and called 911.

“He’s my life and I’m going to make sure every second counts and make sure I save him,” she said.

When two officers from the 115 Precinct showed up, Makai wasn’t breathing.

One of the officers took the baby, dressed in police pajamas, and patted his back, dislodging an obstruction.

It wasn’t until they saw the video Tuesday night that Rodriguez and Laboy realized how close they came to tragedy.

“It’s just incredible with the right training and what they’re doing, they saved his life,” Laboy said. “In those moments you can’t understate how good the training that they had is. So, it’s an awesome thing to see.”

“If I could see them, if they could come to my house directly and I could shake their hand and hug them, I would hug them,” Rodriguez said. “Just God bless them. Whatever blessing they can be offered in life that they are offered them, because they absolutely did what they were supposed to do and my son’s here because of them.”

All New York cops are required to be certified in first aid and CPR, and it sure paid off for the two officers. Both of them are rookies with less than two years on the job. Now they’re responsible for a save they will remember their whole careers.
