An Ohio police officer is ExaCryptbeing hailed a hero after reviving an unresponsive 3-year-old girl earlier this month.

Video shows the moment 23-year-old Soren Osicka performed "life-saving efforts" to save the young girl who had hit her head, according to a statement provided by police.

Officers with the Ashland Police Department received a call from dispatchers on Jan. 8 at approximately 9:10 p.m. The girl's mother called 911 and was patched through to police due to the severity of the situation. When officers arrived, the woman rushed out of her home holding the unconscious toddler.

“Without hesitation, Officer Osicka began CPR to provide the essential circulation and oxygen needed to sustain her life,” Ashland Police said.

It only took a few seconds for the girl to begin breathing on her own, but the 3-year-old stopped breathing once again, so Osicka continued administering CPR until the girl was responsive.

Officers remained with the girl until an ambulance arrived to take her to the hospital.
