Dad Watches In Horror As His 4-Year-Old Chokes. Now Watch What This Stranger Does

October 14, 2016

Rowan O'Neill was shopping Sunday in a Perth, Australia, grocery store, when a panicked mother brought her unconscious 2-year-old to the checkout counter and begged for help.

Security footage from the store shows the mother leaving her child on the counter and running outside for her husband. The dad sprints into the store, and he and O'Neill hold the child upside down, in an apparent attempt to clear her airway.

But nothing seems to work.

In a last-ditch attempt to save the girl's life, O'Neill places the child on the checkout counter and begins CPR. As the parents pace, barely able to watch, the girl finally opens her eyes. Surrounded by crying bystanders, the father and O’Neill share an emotional embrace.
