Syracuse police officers Shaquille Muhammad and Joseph Blazey feared the worst when they got a call about a baby who nearly drowned in a bathtub on Aug. 23. But the officers “kicked it into overdrive,” as Muhammad told Syracuse.com, and arrived just four minutes after the infant’s mother called 911.

With no time to spare, the mother brought her baby, who was unconscious, out to the officers, and Muhammad successfully administered CPR. His partner Blazey affirmed that a “quick response can mean the difference for a lot of people.”
