“Just heard somebody yell ‘she’s choking.’ Then I heard she’s not breathing,” said Vince Hemingway.
The Watermark Grille bartender then sprinted from his bar to a booth to find an older woman who needed help.
“You could tell she was not breathing,” Hemingway said.
Jim Malo, owner of the Watermark Grille, saw Hemingway run across the bar. “He could’ve been a marathon runner.”
“This lady was turning blue,” Malo said.
Hemingway knew right then and there that he had to perform the Heimlich maneuver to save the woman.
