WATCH: Body-worn camera footage shows DPD officer rescue unconscious toddler at McDonald’s Drive-Thru

DALLAS, Texas. Call it luck. Call it a coincidence. But sometimes angels are in the right place at the right time.

This happened last Tuesday around 11:04 pm at a McDonald’s restaurant in Dallas.

The Dallas Police Department told WFAA that Master Corporal Sergio Perez was in the car, hoping to get chicken nuggets for his K-9 Gorro after a successful day of training when a woman approached his patrol car with her unresponsive one-year-old child. a son.

The department told WFAA that the woman asked Perez for a ride to the hospital because her son was not breathing.

But Perez couldn’t adapt – he didn’t have room in the car because Gorro was driving in the back.

Instead, he called an ambulance and began chest compressions on the little boy.

He managed to get the little boy back, and that’s when another officer’s body-worn camera captured the rest of Perez’s heroic moment.

An officer arrives and Perez is seen giving compression to the baby and telling the mother that the little boy is now breathing.

At one point, another officer holds the boy’s hand while they wait for an ambulance.

As soon as the ambulance arrives, Perez carries the boy back and hands him over to the paramedics.

Officials from the Dallas Police Department told the WFAA that the little boy is fine now.

They also said Gorro got his nuggets too.
