A police officer has been hailed a hero after he performed life-saving CPR on a baby.
Little 19-month-old Aiden was not breathing when police arrived at his home in Scottsville, Virginia, USA, last Wednesday.
Officer James Talbott noticed Aiden had turned blue and was cold to the touch, reported WZTV .
He decided to jump into action while waiting for paremedics.
Talbott's bodycam footage shows him patting Aiden's back and clearing his airway before performing CPR on him.
The determined official continues his efforts until the baby stops crying.
Scottsville Police shared the video on Facebook and wrote: "I feel without the first aid that Sgt. Talbott administered, 19 months old Aiden King may have not survived."
Aiden's mother, Misty King, replied in a comment under the post to thank the officer's help for saving her son.
She said: "If he hadn't of responded and took over, I don't know what would have happened.
"This little man is a true blessing and a miracle.
"James Talbott you are a true hero and we hope you stay in touch."
Little Aiden was sent to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for a checkup when paramedics arrived.
On their way back home, they stopped by the police station and visited Sgt Talbott, according to CNN .
Sgt Talbott has since been nominated to receive a SPD Lifesaving medal from the police department, which will be presented to him next year.
