Connecticut police officer forms strong bond with baby girl he saved five years ago: 'We're family'

Connecticut officer Det. Michael Harton saved a baby girl at a movie theater five years ago — and now he's become her godfather. Fox News Digital spoke to the officer and the child's mom.

"We’re all human. We get so involved in the drama of the world. It’s nice to be able to take care of each other, no matter where we come from or what our situation may be." "We're family. There's nothing that's going to take that away from us." "We just became part of each other's lives." "We're from two different cultures, two different races. And for us to come together, especially in the way today's world is with community and police, it just brings a whole new light to things." "It has been so rewarding for us to have all of them [as] a part of our lives." "In my job, I try to treat people the way I would want to be treated." "[The Hartons] treat us like family and are so supportive."  Gretchen Eichenberg is a contributing reporter for Fox News Digital.

Harton, a police officer for 27 years, was on duty at a movie theater on March 4, 2019, when suddenly a woman came running out of a movie with a baby in her arms.
