NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – NYPD officers raced through Brooklyn last weekend to save a 1-year-old baby who wasn't breathing, dramatic bodycam video shows.
Officers Bryant Blake and Dylan Lynch from the 75th Precinct in East New York got the call around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, police said.
"A one-year-old having trouble breathing, seizures, we don't know. We're not on scene, it's just the mother calling 911," Lynch told WABC. "We just have to get there as fast as possible."
Sgt. Kyle Barnett was also on scene. Without an ambulance arriving, they decided to take the child to the hospital themselves, he said.
"About 20 seconds after we got into the RMP, the baby just went completely limp," Barnett said. "It wasn't breathing."

The NYPD said the officers drove the baby to Brookdale Hospital while performing CPR.
They arrived at Brookdale in the nick of time, Blake said: "They said, 'Thank goodness we were there and we were able to the get the baby to the hospital.'"
The baby is "alive and well," the NYPD said in a tweet Thursday, praising the "quick actions" of the officers, doctors and nurses.
