An off-duty policemans heroism is being celebrated this week after he saved a babys life.
On Wednesday afternoon, Nechole Crowell flagged down Ocala, Florida, officer Jeremy Nix at an intersection.
The K9 deputy, who was returning home after his shift, pulled his car behind the frantic womans vehicle and discovered a baby who was barely breathing.
“The first words out of [Crowells] mouth were, Dont let my baby die,'” Nix recalled at a press conference Thursday.

The officer administered CPR to the three-month-old boy, but the infant didnt respond to the lifesaving measures. Nix then sped to nearby Ocala Regional Medical Center.
On its official YouTube page, the Marion County Sheriffs Office praised the hero, saying, “Deputy Nix delivered the child to medical personnel, who then began treating the child. We are happy to report that baby Kingston is doing very well and doctors say he will make a full recovery!!”
Social media has lit up with images of the officer and baby, who is called King, along with the mothers gratitude to the man who saved her sons life.

My son KING was barely breathing, & fighting for his life. … My sister & I noticed an officer sitting at a red light & we got his attention. With his fast thinking HE & GOD saved my son. His word to me was Dont you worry, I will not leave until I help save your son! GOD had me in the right place because he knew you needed me.”
The Sheriffs office affirmed, “Doctors said that because of K9 Deputy Nixs actions, baby Kingston is alive today.”
