FRAMINGHAM - A Framingham Police officer saved a baby who stopped breathing earlier this week.

Police released video of a couple rushing into the department lobby Tuesday evening with their two-month-old child who was struggling to breathe.

Officer Ryan Porter, the department's CPR instructor, happened to be there as the child stopped breathing.

"Officer Porter delivered a series of back blows, which cleared the obstruction and allowed the infant to breathe," police said on their Facebook page. "This happy outcome is a credit to the fast actions of the parents and Officer Porter. Well done!"
