In New York City, an ordinary day turned extraordinary when Jeffrey Horn, an Uber driver, became an unexpected hero. While en route to pick up a passenger, Jeffrey spotted a panicked woman on the sidewalk waving for help — in her arms was a lifeless infant, not breathing.

Without hesitation, Jeffrey pulled over and jumped into action. Though not a professional medic, he had basic CPR training from years ago. Trusting his instincts, he performed chest compressions and rescue breaths right there on the street.

Within moments, the baby gasped for air and began breathing again. Emergency responders arrived shortly after and confirmed that Jeffrey’s quick thinking saved the child’s life.

The grateful mother couldn’t stop crying, calling him “an angel behind the wheel.” Jeffrey, however, humbly said:

“I just did what I hope anyone would do if it were my child.”

The story quickly spread across local news and social media, with many praising him for his bravery and compassion in a moment that could have ended in tragedy.
