NYPD officers revived a 1-month-old boy who had stopped breathing in an Astoria apartment. ABC7 New York reported that bodycam released this week shows them running upstairs at a building on 24th Avenue and 27th Street on Oct. 1, just after 4:30 p.m. They found him unconscious and started CPR until he breathed again.

He was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in stable condition. The video is of that afternoon. It does not say what caused him to stop breathing, and it is not a later report on how he is doing now.
