A Milwaukee police sergeant is being credited with restoring a man's heartbeat this week.

A woman flagged down Officer Conway Nimmer in the District 4 parking lot at about 10 a.m. Wednesday and told the officer her 54-year-old son couldn't breathe, according to Milwaukee police. The woman was taking her son to the VA hospital because he had been complaining of pain. During the drive, the man began convulsing and passed out. Nimmer called for help as he pulled the man out of the vehicle and placed him on the ground.

Sgt. Stephen Chin ran outside with the district's automated external defibrillator in hand. He began CPR and then used the AED to deliver three shocks. Chin restored the man's heartbeat and the man was taken to the hospital by the Milwaukee Fire Department.
