CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Chicago police officer is credited with saving the life of a newborn.

Police said the officer heard a dispatcher asking if anyone knew how to do CPR on a newborn Friday night.

She rushed to the home in the city's Bridgeport neighborhood, found the baby turning blue and quickly did CPR, officials said.

By the time fire crews arrived, the newborn was breathing on its own.
