A heroic Texas cheerleader took action and jumped from her homecoming parade float when she spotted a toddler choking in the crowd, according to a report.

Tyra Winters, 17, was on a parade float with her Rockwall High School cheerleading team Sept. 18 when she saw a 2-year-old boy whose face was “super, super red,” ABC News reported.

“At this point, he’s kind of turning purple,” Winters told the outlet.

She ran to the boy’s rescue and performed the Heimlich maneuver on him.

“I picked him up and then I tilted him downwards and gave him two or three back thrusts,” Winters said. “He then was spitting everything up.”

The boy’s mother, Nicole Hornback, hailed the cheerleader as “very brave.”

“I just literally was holding him out and just running through the crowd trying to hand him off to anyone,” Hornback said.
