Anyone who has ever been in an emergency medical situation knows just how precious time can become. That concept appears to have been lost on the NYPD officer, or auxiliary officer or traffic agent or private security guard who delayed little Briana Ojeda’s mother from getting her to Long Island College Hospital in time to save her life:
NY Post: An 11-year-old Brooklyn girl died after her mom was detained by a man in uniform as she tried desperately to rush her to a hospital.
“She was my angel. I cannot believe my baby is gone,” the devastated mother, Carmen Ojeda, said of daughter Briana.
The NYPD is trying to determine whether the man was a cop, auxiliary officer, traffic agent or private security guard.
The tragedy happened after Briana suffered an asthma attack at 5:15 p.m. Friday at a playground in Carroll Gardens.
“We have all the equipment in the car but nothing was working. Her eyes started to get really, really big,” Briana’s heartbroken dad, Michael, told The Post.
Carmen Ojeda called 911 but couldn’t wait for the ambulance and took off in her car.
To break free from heavy traffic, Ojeda turned the wrong way on a one-way street, and hit a parked car.
She then flagged down a marked car and the uniformed man got out and screamed, “What the f–k are you doing going down the wrong way?” Michael said.
“My wife screamed at him, ‘Help! My daughter needs CPR.’ ”
The man “smirked” and responded, “I don’t do CPR,” Michael said.
