Off-duty police officer jumps into action to save a neighbor's choking child

When Mohammed Hacham is at home, his police radio is usually off, but Monday evening as he was about to take a nap before the midnight shift as a Melvindale Police officer, Hacham's radio was on.

It wasn't an accident that your radio was on!! The world needs more people like you!!

[@aftersexhighfives]

I am incredibly thankful that this type of man is a cop. What a wonderful soul to truly serve and protect. He's a rare breed. I am so happy he wears that uniform. It's exactly where he's meant to be.

Also consider getting one of the suction tools that is like a face mask and will dislodge objects/food stuck in the throat.

I would love to have this man as my neighbor

[@shellsbignumber2]

When I was a young kid I started choking on a sweet at the local shopping mall, I started turning blue. My mum was having a fit and panicking then some random man comes up grabs my ankles holds me upside down and whacks my back a couple of times, the sweet came out and before my mum could even thank the man he had disappeared never to be seen again.

[@foesperu84b]

Congratulations to this brave Police Officer never dout to help makes eveyone proud of him and over all this kid family thank you for bring this little angel back to life. Regards from Lima Peru.

This is how miracles look like today. 🙏

That many family members and not a single one of them knew the Heimlich maneuver? 🤔

[@ItsAllLove4Real]

😒🙄

[@jimboalogo]

When I was 5, I choked on bacon. I was basically dying. Couldn't breathe at all. I just look back on it now and it's funny. I've never seen my mom so scared in her life. She didn't know what to do. She picked me up by my legs and ran me over to our neighbor while I'm upside down. Together, they got they got me breathing again. It's not fun being dangled by your legs while the person holding you is running, and you can't breathe!

[@kpopfan674]

She should have learned about potential situations like that but at least she didn't just randomly scream and panic - she got you to someone who could help, albeit in a very uncomfortable way.

[@aftersexhighfives]

I can't believe you remember this. I can, literally, but not figuratively. 😂 great job mom, but I bet thinking about it still makes her heart race. 3 is also a tricky age for heimlich, both too old and too young for either method so do both until one works. Dangling you like that was likely purposeful because that's basically the method of baby heimlich. I stepped on an ant mound around that age and remember it vividly. No memories of the trip to Disney that same year, brains are weird.

[@kpopfan674]

@@aftersexhighfives That's not baby heimlich, sheesh, don't give nonsense first aid advice

[@aftersexhighfives]

@@kpopfan674 Yes it is. Go look it up. Quit ASSuming

Its only " certain "people who claim the police are bad.

[@kpopfan674]

Yep - those who are law-abiding citizens who have experienced their vile behaviour.

[@wcresponder]

neighborhood should take a first aid course.

[@TheDylls]

Left the radio on by accident! I don't believe in miracles per sé, but COME ON!

[@barrymcdougal4816]

WHAT WAS BRAVE MAY I ASK --- THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE HIS JOB PROTECT AND SERVE AND DID WHAT MOST HUMANS WOULD DO.

[@beseeingyou9120]

If id have watched this video on mute i would never have guessed it was america 😂

[@MichaelValouch-pb3ss]

There are good and bad people in every nation, and you'll know them by their fruits. Are the parents and boy here legally? Just asking.

[@dfc41]

I don't know these people, but I live within a half hour away, and there is a very large Middle Eastern population in the area, so I'd imagine they are legal.

[@angelahartman3272]

This baby almost died, FFS! This is what concerns you after watching this video? 🤦

[@kpopfan674]

@@angelahartman3272 It is a weird comment, but with most cops, the kid's life could have been in serious danger after the cop claimed he saw a weapon and shot the kid.

[@barrymcdougal4816]

HE WON'T LAST LONG IF HE REALLY IS A GOOD COP --- THAT IS NOT PART OF THE TRAINING.

[@kpopfan674]

Sadly seems to be true. I was genuinely surprised he didn't claim he thought the child was a threat and behave like a lunatic, but he's only been in the job for a short time.

[@kavodyahudah3970]

Finally the police do something good! Thank God some officers have hearts... Very happy to hear about an actual police officer who protects and serves the community.
