A Concord police officer on Friday saved an unresponsive 2-year-old who “got ahold of some fentanyl," officials said.
While on patrol, Officer Khamosh was flagged down by a frantic driver on Salvio St., the Concord Police Department posted Monday on Facebook.
Khamosh found a toddler who had stopped breathing in the back seat of the car, and immediately began life-saving measures including chest compressions and CPR, officials said.
The officer could not find a pulse.
Eventually, the mother revealed that the child had “got ahold of some fentanyl,” police said.
Khamosh administered two doses of Narcan, a drug used when a person is having an overdose. He continued CPR, and the toddler started breathing and regained consciousness, according to authorities.
Medics rushed the baby to a hospital, and the child is now recovering at Children’s Hospital Oakland.
Officials said the mother of the toddler was arrested and charged with child endangerment and possession of a narcotic, and the 2-year-old is now under the care of Child and Family Services.
