According to Schaumburg Police Department's Lt. Shawn Green, "There were no vital signs at all," Green told the press.

Poradizisz rolled up on the scene and jumped into action. Using his EMT training, the officer used the Heimlich maneuver to clear the young child's mouth and throat and began administering CPR.

Another Schaumburg officer, Kevin O'Connor was on the scene and assisted Poradizisz in resuscitating the little girl.

EMS arrived shortly after Colon had been revived. The young girl was transported to the hospital and reportedly has made a full recovery.
