Savannah police are crediting an officer with saving the life of a choking newborn baby by racing to her apartment and then using chest compressions to restart the infant's breathing.

Dramatic video from an officer's body-worn camera shows the infant's desperate mother, Tina Adkins, holding her unresponsive 29-day-old baby on Friday.

Savannah-Chatham police Officer William Eng raced up three flights of stairs to perform CPR. He told The Savannah Morning News says he finally saw Bella move and that he "saw her eyes open and she started moving" and that he "was so relieved."
