The heroic act took place in Tinajo, in western Lanzarote, where officers Jonay Rodríguez and Alba Machado intervened decisively. Upon realizing the severity of the situation, they immediately began cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers on the infant.
For approximately half an hour, the officers continued CPR until a medicalized ambulance from the Canarian Emergency Service (SUC) arrived. The collaboration of a young nurse, Tomás Jordán, who was in the area, was fundamental in sustaining assistance to the baby.
Once stabilized, the newborn was transferred to the Maternity and Children's Hospital of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where he remains admitted. The Tinajo City Council has expressed its support for the family and its wish for a speedy recovery for the child.
“"The mayor of Tinajo, Jesús Machín, and the delegated councilor for the Local Police, Yurena Cubas, have publicly acknowledged the involved officers, extending congratulations to the entire police force for their daily work in favor of public safety and well-being."
