(South Bend, IN) - A South Bend Police Officer came to the rescue of an unconscious child earlier this week.

Officer Brian Meador was working at his desk at the downtown police station when he heard a commotion in the lobby. Security video footage shows Officer Meador rushing to the aid of a panicked couple carrying the limp body of a child. According to a police statement, the couple was driving to the hospital when the child became unresponsive near the South Bend Police Department.

Without hesitation, Officer Meador grabbed the child and began chest compressions as medics were en route. Thanks to Meador’s quick actions, the child came to. The family later told police that the child is continuing to recover and is appreciative of Officer Meador's swift medical assistance.
