Watch: Mesa officer saves unresponsive baby
A Mesa police officer found himself in the right place at the right time to save a baby's life - and it was all caught on camera.
Perez quickly reacted and started patting the baby on the back. An off-duty paramedic also happened to be there and volunteered to help.
They put the baby in the back of the police car with cool air and thankfully the baby started breathing again.
"It was kind of an emotional time, a lot of feelings came up while I was helping baby, and seeing that the baby was fine after the fact. You go back to the car, you sit by yourself, and you start really thinking, you're replaying what happened, and it was a crazy feeling for sure," Officer Perez said.
