Cop/EMT, other Finest save baby girl

A BABY GIRL who stopped breathing at a subway station will live to see her first birthday, thanks to an onthe-fly diagnosis from a city cop with emergency medical training.

Little Natalia Alban, who turns 1 on Nov. 19, went limp at the 42nd St. subway station at Eighth Ave. just before 6 p.m. Thursday, and her parents panicked.

They found an MTA worker, who hustled them to the NYPD Transit Manhattan Task force headquarters.

Natalia’s father, Andy Alban, was holding her limp in one arm, his wife, Nadia Romero, alongside him.

“My baby’s not breathing! My baby’s not breathing!” said Alban, an Ecuadoran tourist who was visiting family in Queens.

Police Officer Daniel Velasquez grabbed Natalia and placed her on the ground, g and did chest compressions as Sgt. Mike Reilly performed mouth to mouth.

“I have two daughters of my own. T The memories came flooding back. My heart was pounding,” Reilly said. “She was struggling to breathe.”

That’s when Officer John Williams, who volunteers as an EMT in Long Island, ran over. He knew the girl was having a febrile seizure. He cut off her clothes and cooled her down with ice.

Finally, Natalia started breathing again. “It was a beautiful sound,” Williams said.
