Bodycam footage shows the officers jump into action to rescue the 3-year-old boy.
HOMESTEAD, Fla. - The teamwork and quick actions of several Miami-Dade police officers saved a boy trapped in a submerged car.
“That’s what I saw when I got there, it was the father trying to hold onto his child, saying he can’t get the kid out of the water,” said Sgt. Edward Webster with Miami-Dade police. “Every time he would actually come out and he wouldn’t come out with the baby. It did worry us,” Officer Julian Reyes said.“Eventually I felt the baby seat, the car seat and I pulled it as hard as I could because I couldn’t figure out where the seat belt was or anything of that nature,” Walton said. “Luckily it broke off and the child was able to pop up to the top of the car.”
“So, after the third set of CPR, he pretty much threw up the water that was inside his stomach,” Clervil said.“Emotionally, it was the worst day of my life but also the best day of my life,” he said.
