| [NYPost] They’re New York’s Finest. Two hero NYPD cops saved a 10-month-old boy who was choking to death in the Bronx last week — and were visited by the grateful mother and infant in an emotional reunion Friday. Officers Julio Arias and Karolin Abreu Garcia of the South Bronx were responding to another call on Sept. 26 when someone suddenly stopped them near Grand Concourse and East 168th Street, cops said. “Baby not breathing,” the person frantically yelled to the officers and pointed toward a nearby apartment building, Garcia said. Arias took the baby — and began slapping his back to force out whatever was blocking his airway. “I was giving him the backslaps,” Arias said during the reunion with Montana and her baby boy outside the 44th Precinct. “I had felt something fall off, and that’s when he started crying, started breathing again.” The officers made sure Jheyler was taken to a hospital, then later returned to check on him, she said. At Friday’s reunion, Montana greeted the officers as “mis héroes” — my heroes in Spanish — when she saw them outside the precinct. |
