Brockton's police cleared the air passageway of a 3-month-old baby girl who was choking and non-responsive.
Emanuel Gomes, the city's chief of police, was tending to business on the south side of the city in a marked cruiser Thursday morning when he heard a radio call about a baby choking. He headed for the home, and he was the first one to get there, he later told reporters.
