An Ohio couple rescued an infant girl from a sweltering car as her parents lay sprawled out on the ground from an apparent overdose, according to a new report.

Eric Asher, 43, told “Inside Edition” that he and his fiancée rushed to the baby’s aid when they came upon the scene — captured in disturbing photos he posted to Facebook — at a parking lot in Canton on Friday.

“We were driving down the road and I looked over to my right and I saw the male and female laying on the ground,” Asher told the outlet. “We [later] saw that they were purple.”

Once the couple realized an infant was in the back seat, they “busted [the] baby out,” Asher wrote in the Facebook post.

“The child was covered in sweat,” he told “Inside Edition.” “We … gave the baby some water. That was our priority.”

Another bystander quickly called 911. Both parents were charged with child endangerment and released on bond, according to court records obtained by the TV program.

A Stark County Sheriff’s office spokeswoman confirmed that her office handled the incident, but was not immediately able to release information on the case, which she said remains “under review.”

The little girl’s mother later called Asher to thank him for saving their daughter, he said on the program.

“They said they were clean for two years and then they got off the government [provided] medication and got sick,” Asher said. “When they relapsed, it had a greater effect than when they used to do drugs.”

Another family member now has custody of the baby, Asher said the mother told him.

Meanwhile, Asher’s Facebook post went viral, with about 52,000 Facebook likes and 81,000 shares. But he’s gotten his share of negative feedback, he told “Inside Edition”

“The only reason we posted that picture was to bring awareness,” Asher explained. “I have family and friends dying like everybody does daily over this epidemic. We just wanted people to be aware of what was going on in our community. We did not expect it to go viral.”

“Lord put us at the right place at the right time,” he said in the Facebook post.

Three days later, he posted that he was raising funds for the organization Facing Addiction with NCADD.

The incident calls to mind a 2016 viral image of Erika Hurt of Hope, Ind., who was strung out on heroin and slumped behind the wheel in a Dollar General parking lot while her 10-month-old son, Parker, cried in the back seat.

A year later, Hurt reposted the viral image on Facebook — accompanied by a shot of herself with her son and a smiling selfie. She said the earlier photo depicted “the worst moment of my life” — but it ultimately helped her turn her life around, she said.

“Today, I am able to focus on the good that came from that picture,” she wrote. “Today, I am a mother to my son, again. Today, I am able to be grateful to actually have solid proof where addiction will only lead you, and today I am able to say that I am ONE YEAR SOBER.”
