Pittsburg Police Officer Assists 91-Year-Old Choking Victim

by ECT

At 2:00 p.m. Officer Ernesto Mejia responded to the Red Lobster on Century Boulevard for the report of a lady inside the restaurant choking. Officer Mejia arrived within a minute of the call and found the female, a 91 year old Pinole resident still choking.

Officer Mejia was able to administer the Heimlich maneuver and successfully dislodge a large piece of food that was completely blocking the female’s airway.

Officer Mejia’s immediate response and prompt actions taken saved this citizen’s life. Outstanding job Officer Mejia.
