Good samaritans show up when you least expect them. And now, a video of a stranger saving a 5-year-old from choking on a candy is going viral on social media. The clip was shared on Goodnews Movement's Instagram account.
The short video showed a mother holding her baby boy in her arms. Suddenly, she noticed that her child was choking on a peppermint candy. She immediately put him down and called for help. A stranger then rushed to the boy's help and performed the Heimlich manoeuvre to save the little kid. Soon after, others rushed to the spot too to help the boy. In the end, a woman effectively performed the Heimlich and saved the kid.
"GOOD SAMARITAN SAVES CHOKING CHILD. This hero stepped up and saved a 5-year-old child that was choking on a peppermint. The immediate hug at the end from the appreciative mom," the caption of the post read.
