Gabriel McKenna dislodged a chicken nugget from the boy's throat at a McDonald's in Newry.
A County Armagh man has been described as a "guardian angel" after saving the life of a five-year-old boy who was choking on a chicken nugget.
"Johnny went to put his wrappers in the bin and when he turned round he had a blank expression on his face. "At that time I had him bent over my knee trying to slap his back - it was a blur and seemed like forever, even though it probably was," said Ms Byrne.Then Angel Gabriel came along. "Gabriel lifted me up like a chicken," said Johnny Og.Mr McKenna, who is originally from County Louth and now lives in Cullyhanna, County Armagh, said it was "divine intervention" that he was there at that time.
"I said prayers to Our Lady and St Theresa and God to help me to save this child and thanks be to God my prayers were answered."
