The moment doctors saved the life of a choking baby has been captured in a dramatic video.

After a cough to regain his breath, the baby bursts into tears as medics pat him on the back to calm him and encourage his breathing.

The object pulled from the baby's mouth was reported to be a large wrist watch and according to the Daily Mirror the baby's parents had rushed him to hospital in Saudi Arabia after noticing he was struggling to breathe and realising he had swallowed the watch.
