A police officer in New Jersey is being called a hero after he saved the life of a one-month-old baby who had been thrown from a building’s second-floor balcony on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to NBC News<\/a>, the incident began when an unidentified man was “dangling” a newborn baby over a balcony in Jersey City. Officers arrived on the scene and negotiated with the man while also setting up a perimeter. Despite their efforts to stop him, the man ended up throwing the baby, whom Officer Eduardo Matute was able to miraculously catch.<\/p>\n
