This week's hero is detective in the NYC police. Last week's hero was an off-duty officer that resuscitated a child, and this week's hero is an NYC detective who did the same thing earlier in December, 2025.
NYC Detective Saves Choking 8 Month Old Baby
WPIX-TV, : Henry Rosoff, : Dec 26, 2025
In Mid-December 2025, Detective First Grade Michael Greaney was captured on a TikTok video on the side of the Bronx River Parkway, saving an eight-month-old baby with the same firm back patting technique.
Cerpa is only seven months out of the academy and said they get trained on the back slaps for young ones, along with the Heimlich maneuver and using the AED machine.
“I never thought I’d have to use it, but I’m glad that they taught us at the Academy how to use it,” he said.”Amazing feeling to know that I hope to save a little girl’s life before Christmas.”
A number of fire departments across the Tri-State, including the FDNY, offer free training and information about what to do when someone is choking. The American Red Cross is another great resource.
FOX 5 NY's Sharon Crowley spoke to NYPD Detective Michael Greaney about how he was able to save a baby from choking.
