"Baby's Throat Blocked by Wet Wipe"... A Miracle for Desperate Parents

Around 1:30 PM on October 3, in front of a fire station in Seoul.

A pair of parents stand anxiously, holding a child in their arms.

The parents had called for help, saying, "A wet wipe wrapper is stuck in our 7-month-old baby's throat, and we need to get to the emergency room quickly." However, all ambulances from the nearest fire station were already dispatched, leaving no vehicle available to provide first aid to the child and transport them to the emergency room.

Upon receiving the report, the police quickly dispatched two patrol cars from a nearby police box, and the patrol cars boarded the child and parents and headed to a nearby university hospital emergency room.

However, because a festival was taking place nearby during the daytime on the weekend, traffic congestion was at its peak.

In response, one patrol car sounded its siren and led the way, guiding the other patrol car carrying the child and parents.

"Even amid the severe congestion, drivers on the road recognized the patrol car's situation and demonstrated civic consciousness, creating a 'Moses Miracle,'" the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said. "Thanks to that, we were able to quickly transport the child to a nearby university hospital emergency room."

After the child's condition improved following treatment at the emergency room, the parents visited the police box that helped them to express their gratitude.
