CCTV: A teacher from the New Jersey state of USA saved a student who was choking on a bottle cap last week.
According to WABC, the dramatic incident took place at East Orange Community Charter School. The 9-year-old boy can be seen taking a sip from his water bottle at this desk when the cap of the bottle got stuck in his throat.
The boy named Robert, who is in the third grade had tried to take off the cap using his teeth.
In an interview with a news outlet, Robert said “Then I was squeezing it a little and then the water pushed the cap to my throat.”
He added that he was going to the sink trying to cough it out and couldn’t, so he ran very quickly to Ms. [Janiece] Jenkins.
The teacher named Janiece Jenkins immediately performed a Heimlich manoeuvre after Robert ran toward her in distress in front of the classroom full of children.
The teacher said, “He was pointing to his neck and he’s all flustered.”
