An off-duty officer with the Boynton Beach (FL) Police Department was working a side detail at a popular chain restaurant on Sunday night when he observed an 82-year-old woman apparently choking on her food.
According to CBS News , Officer Chris Schalk rushed to the woman's aid after her family started shouting that she wasn't breathing.
Schalk performed the Heimlich maneuver, successfully dislodging a piece of broccoli from her esophagus.
At a press conference following the event Schalk was asked by a reporter, "Will you ever look at broccoli the same way again?"
He quickly replied, "I don't like broccoli."
