A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent saved the life of a 1-year-old boy Wednesday who stopped breathing while in line at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport, authorities said.
The agent was assisting Transportation and Security Administration agents at the airport when he responded to a medical emergency involving the child, the Department of Homeland Security said.
The boy became unresponsive in the arms of his father, DHS said. Security footage from inside the airport showed a passenger in a TSA Precejcl line holding the boy.
The child's arms became lifeless, sparking a panic as his father scrambled to find help.
