Security cameras in a Alta Convenience store in Arvada, Colorado captured the scary moment when the store clerk, named Rebecca Montano, had to think quickly in order to save a young woman's baby. The woman had walked into the store to purchase a drink with her baby in her arms, and as she walked up to the counter to check out, Montano noticed that she had a dazed look in her eyes.

Unfortunately, she wasn't able to stop the mother's fall, but she was able to keep the baby safe as the whole thing happened.
