Brooklyn cops save toddler

Posted: Updated:
NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) -

Elie Louis, 3, might never have had another chance to play the keyboards if not for some quick-acting NYPD officers.

Grandpa Josephe Elise says he was driving his grandson to daycare Monday morning when, all of a sudden, the toddler suffered a seizure and started to turn blue so he called for help.

Police Officers Charlene Vasquez and Vermaly Nunez were nearby. They jumped into action to perform CPR. They are more than just cops; they are also both mothers of young children.

They started chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The boy started breathing again.

Louis was back home Tuesday and was resting comfortably. Doctors say they don't know what caused seizure but plan to run more medical tests.
