Dramatic bodycam footage shows the moment a hero police officer saved a two- year-old boy found unconscious after almost drowning in a pool.

Officer Nathan Sears rushed to the aid of the boy, whose parents had been performing CPR on their son for approximately one minute.

Officer Sears, from Sterling Heights PD, in Michigan, USA, grabbed the child and beat him on the back to clear the water from his airways.

The boy can be heard taking gurgling breaths and before crying loudly after he is administered the blow to his back.



Sterling Heights PD said on Facebook: "After about a minute of the mother giving compressions and the father giving breaths, the young boy spit up some of the water and began gasping for breath."

"Officer Sears picked the young boy up, flipping him over to give back blows to help clear his airway."

A spokesperson from Sterling Heights PD added: "The family where having a pool party. "

"The parents got distracted and went to the front yard for a bit, that's when the boy fell in."

The boy was taken to the hospital and cleared with no injuries.
