POLICE IN KENTUCKY HONORED FOR SAVING INFANT’S LIFE
Two Kentucky police officers have been presented their department’s lifesaving award this week after doing a “fantastic job” coming to the rescue of an unresponsive 3-month-old girl.
Elsmere officers Brian Evans and Alexis Day were honored Monday for their actions on April 26, when they were dispatched to a residence in the city just outside of Cincinnati to assist a baby who police say “may not have been breathing.”
Bodycam footage shows Evans and Day saving the infant after taking her out of her mother’s arms. Evans – holding the baby face down – gets the girl to cry again after repeatedly slapping her back.
Elsmere Police Chief Joe Maier said the officers did a “fantastic job.”
Police say paramedics eventually showed up on scene and transported the baby for further medical observation.
