An officer saves a choking baby, and it's all caught on video.

On Monday, the Sterling Heights Police Department in Michigan released a video of one of their officers saving a baby's life.

The video shows Officer Cameron Maciejewski responding to a home last Thursday, July 9th, arriving to panicked family members as their three week old baby is choking and unable to breath.

Aside from performing the Heimlich and saving the baby, the most impressive part is how calm and collected the officer is throughout the ordeal. He arrives, helps to calm the family, and saves the child, all within a few minutes. It's pretty incredible to watch.

The baby was transported to a nearby hospital as a precaution, and is expected to be OK.

Here's an interview video with Officer Maciejewski:
