Two hero GMP officers helped save a baby's life after rushing to help a mother.

While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, the officers resuscitated the baby by patting her back and performing compressions.
They were able to get back some faint breathing.
When the ambulance arrived the paramedics assessed the baby, called Jood, and it was established she had been suffering from an infection which had caused fluid to enter the airway.
They said the officers' timely actions had helped to save her life.
Inspector Anuratti Singh, of GMP's City of Manchester district, said: "This is amazing work from our officers whose swift action has saved a baby's life.
"The work of a police officer is incredibly varied, and they can be faced with a number of different situations each and every day.
"I am immensely proud of the professionalism of our officers in how they handled this situation as it could easily have been a very different story.
"Thanks to them baby Jood is safe and well."
