Harrelson was unavailable to provide details to NBC4 Tuesday afternoon, but LAPD's Media Relations Division confirmed the report.
The child's mother told NBC4 Tuesday night that she is a nurse, and was able to perform CPR on the child.?
"The baby was blue but slightly breathing," Harrelson told the?Daily News. "The officers were able to open up her airways and she started to cry, which means she was responsive."
The baby girl was transported via Los Angeles Fire Department helicopter, which had landed at Sun Valley Middle School, LAFD spokesman Erik Scott said.
The child was hospitalized in serious condition but was later released.
