Northport Officers to Reunite With Baby They Saved on 'Inside Edition'

Two Northport Police officers who saved a newborn who was not breathing after being born on a bathroom floor earlier this month will reunite with the baby they rescued Thursday night on "Inside Edition."

Tune into Channel 9 at 10:30 p.m. to see officers Steve Golub and Devin Humphreys talk about their lifesaving efforts alongside the mother and the baby girl they saved.

On Saturday, Jan. 14, officers arrived to the Fifth Avenue home at around 5 p.m. to find the mother sitting on the bathroom floor with the unconscious baby, who turned a dark blue color, in her arms with the umbilical cord still attached, police say.

One of the officers determined the baby had a complete airway obstruction and attempted to clear the airway using her fingers to no avail. The officers then located an eyedropper in the home and began using it to remove fluid from the baby’s nose, mouth and throat.

After several moments, the baby began to cough, breathe and cry, police say.

The Northport Fire Department Rescue Squad then responded to the scene and gave the baby advanced medical care.

The mother and the baby were transported to Huntington Hospital and are both expected to make full recoveries.

The dispatcher who assisted in the 911 call was Dana Gunther, who was recognized by Northport Village alongside the two officers.
