HANDOUT PHOTOBriana Ojeda's mom says the little girl died from an asthma attack after a cop failed to help her. Related NewsArticlesB'klyn ma claims cop daughter die during an asthma attackMother wants cop who blocked her way to hospital to apologizeNYPD hunts mystery 'cop' who failed to help Briana Ojeda, girl dying of asthmaThe NYPD has suspended a cold-hearted Brooklyn cop who failed to help a woman as she frantically drove her dying daughter to a hospital, police said.
Police Officer Alfonso Mendez, 30, who is assigned to the 84th Precinct in downtown Brooklyn, had his gun and badge taken and will likely face a departmental charge for failing to take proper police action, cops said.
The stunning announcement - which vindicated the grieving mother of Briana Ojeda, 11 - was a quick and surprising turn of events.
Tuesday morning, as the NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau hunted for the mystery officer whom Carmen Ojeda blamed for her daughter's death, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told reporters not enough was known to determine if the man was an NYPD cop.
The probe suddenly came together within a few hours Tuesday afternoon - and Mendez, who was suspended without pay, later copped to having been the man in uniform who pulled over Ojeda in Cobble Hill Friday.
"It's a shame that it took four days for this officer to reveal himself. And it should never happen to any other child," said Briana's father, Michael Ojeda, as he and Carmen left their daughter's wake.
Briana, whose funeral is today, suffered an asthma attack while playing at a Carroll Gardens park.
Her mother called 911, but opted instead to drive Briana to Long Island College Hospital.
Mendez, who has been on theforce for five years and hadnot had a major disciplinary issue, stopped Ojeda after she turned the wrong way down a one-way street a few blocks from the hospital.
Ojeda, 35, of Boerum Hill, had insisted she was pulled over by an NYPD cop who acted surly and claimed not to know cardiopulmonary resuscitation - althoughall NYPD cops receive such training.
She said the officer followed her to the hospital, where Briana died about an hour after arrival.
NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said Internal Affairs Bureau investigators showed Ojeda and witnesses pictures of cops in the 76th Precinct, where the incident took place. No cop was identified as the culprit.
They next began reviewing gasoline purchases because cops from two neighboring commands routinely fuel up their vehicles at stations within the 76th Precinct.
Those records confirmed that following a court appearance, Mendez had stopped to fill up his vehicle before heading to the Brooklyn Bridge to relieve a cop at a fixed posting, Browne said. Mendez's NYPD photo was then placed in a photo array for witnesses, who fingered him.
Browne said that, under NYPD regulations, Mendez should have reported he stopped Ojeda and escorted her to the hospital.

sad...read about this yesterday...
I don't think CPR would have done anything for an asthma patient though since nothing can open the airways except for medicine.
but did the cop follow her to the hosp to make sure they got there safely or to make sure they really were going to the hospital?

He did follow her but he was gone before the whole ordeal was over.
Rather than following her, he couldve put her in his vehicle, turned on the siren, and rushed her to the hospital. He did none of that.
I am interested in hearing his side of the story. I understand why he would stop a person driving the wrong way on a one way street, this video does not mention it but apparently she clipped a parked car and thats why he pulled her over. As an officer I understand him taking action and stopping her, I just dont understand how he wasnt pro active once he saw the condition of that little girl.
