An eight-year-old child has been hailed as a hero

after saving a classmate from choking on a chicken nugget.

Garrett Brown acted quickly when he noticed his classmate

Cashton York choking during lunch on the school's chicken nugget day.

Cashton fought to breathe as his peers cried for aid and terrified around him

in what was characterised as "every teacher's and parent's worst nightmare."

Only young Garrett kept his cool, alerted his teacher, and acted immediately to save his friend's life.
