Watch: Choking boy saved by stranger in restaurant

Good Samaritans appear when you least expect them. A man recently saved a boy from suffocation in a restaurant in Wisconsin, USA. Without any formal training, he performed the Heimlich maneuver—a first aid procedure in which the abdomen is thrust to treat upper airway blockages by foreign objects—and removed a large piece of chicken sandwich lodged in the boy’s throat. . A video of the incident was captured in the CCTV camera. It is shown that the boy is slitting his throat as the man passes by. Seeing the boy in trouble, the man grabs him from behind, lifts him, and performs the Heimlich maneuver.

The boy immediately throws out a piece of chicken sandwich. But more blockage is visible in his throat. Therefore, the man continues the process as two worried women watch him. One of them is the boy’s mother, who tries to ask for help, but leaves after seeing the man helping the boy. Meanwhile, the other woman called the emergency helpline 911. Fortunately, thanks to timely intervention, the boy was saved from suffocating on the sandwich.
