A beer vendor at the Nationals ballpark is credited with helping to save a boy’s life during a game last week.

Emmanuel Marlow was making the rounds in the stands last Thursday, when he noticed a boy coughing and turning blue.

Marlow was the first to act. He had taken a course in CPR training, so he knew what to do.

“Everyone was panicked and didn’t know what to do,” said Barlow. “I went over and give him the Heimlich and piece of chicken came out of his throat.”

The teenager was taken to the first aid station at the ballpark for an evaluation. He made a full recovery.
