Details have emerged of the incredible moment that an armed police response crew helped to save the life of a 2-year-old girl.

The ARV crew, based with Greater Manchester Police, had been on routine patrol when they noticed that a car was being driven erratically.

They indicated for the vehicle to pull over and when they spoke to the driver, she frantically explained that she thought that her daughter was choking.

Officers quickly put the mother and child in their vehicle and rushed her to the nearest hospital on blue lights.

The young girl was treated by medical staff for a seizure.

Inspector Tariq Butt, from Greater Manchester Police Special Operations, tweeted:

“Today my Firearms Team (SO5) saved the life of a two year old girl with proactive policing.

“[they] stopped a vehicle driving erratically, mother thinks girl is choking.

“Officers get mother and child in the Armed Response Vehicle & take straight to A&E where she was treated for a seizure”.

The tweet has been ‘liked’ nearly 4,000 times.

However, not everyone on social media shared the sentiments felt by many.

Frances Cook, CEO of the Howard League for Penal Reform, tweeted:

“Great work by the police, but the armaments were totally unnecessary”.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
