See the dramatic body cam from hero cop who helped save shot child in NYC's Times Square
Dramatic body camera footage shows how an NYPD officer helped save a 4-year-old girl after she was shot in Times Square.
“There’s a baby on that end,” one cop tells officer Alyssa Vogel in body camera footage released by the NYPD.
“There’s a baby?!” Vogel asks and then rushes towards the child.
Second later, Vogel arrives where other officers are putting a tourniquet around the child’s leg after she was shot while shopping with her family. Vogel picked up the child and ran her towards an ambulance a short distance away.
Witness video went viral that showed Vogel carrying the child away from the shooting scene and towards the ambulance.
"This little girl is the strongest person I have ever seen," Vogel told "Good Morning America” in recent days.
