An 11-day-old boy died after two police officers rushed the infant to the hospital Friday, not even letting a stopped elevator in a city apartment building get in their way.Authorities say the infant was in cardiac arrest when the officers arrived at the 14th floor apartment in the Van Dyke Houses, in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, just after 9 a.m.The two officers, assigned to the 73rd Precinct, reportedly took the boy from his mother and ran to the elevator.

But as it was descending, the elevator stopped for an unknown reason, trapping the two officers inside.

After 20 seconds of not being able to make the elevator move, the two police officers forced open the doors, officials said.

Police say they climbed out of the elevator onto the eighth floor and ran, with the infant, down eight flights of stairs. They then hopped into their patrol car and rushed the boy to Brookdale Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The building is part of the Van Dyke Houses, maintained by the city Housing Authority, which was looking into the matter.

Interfacility Treatment Protocols Brief Statement & Disclaimer:

In order to provide the level of care that most closely matches the perceived need of patients requiring interfacility transport, the Regional Emergency Medical Advisory Committee (REMAC) of New York City developed Interfacility Treatment Protocols. This document reflects the changing field of out-of-hospital emergency medicine and the continuous attempts of the emergency medical and trauma communities in all provider sectors (municipal, voluntary hospital, proprietary, and volunteer), acting in concert, to provide high-quality, state-of-the-art, out-of-hospital emergency medical care to urgently ill and injured adults and children in the New York City region.
