Check out these dramatic moments of a toddler nearly choking to death in Kissimmee, Florida.
It was all captured on body camera as five police officers worked feverishly to save the boy’s life.
Amanda Zimmerman says her eighteen-month-old son Michael was eating goldfish crackers when he began choking.
Zimmerman sprinted outside with Michael in her arms.
She intended to drive to the emergency room just two blocks away but Michael started turning blue.
But before she could even reach her car, she ran straight into Officer Miguel Lanzo, who just happened to be driving by.
Lanzo called for backup and got to work.
One of the offices to show up was a seasoned veteran who had saved a choking child before: his own daughter.
The five officers continue working as a team until paramedics arrived.
Michael was transported to the hospital where he made a full recovery.
