HERO COP CATCHES BABY THROWN BY KIDNAPPER

IT was probably the most important catch he'll ever make, as one hero Chicago cop snagged a baby thrown at him by a kidnapping subject trying to get away. 
Arriving on the scene, witnesses pointed to a man in his 20s who they said had taken the tot, who was less than a year old. 
As they approached the man, he turned and tossed the baby high into the air and scrambling, the officer caught it, ensuring it wasn't hurt, reports The Chicago Sun Times

One astonished onlooker said: "It was pretty amazing. Lord knows what would have happened to the child if they hadn't been there. It could have been seriously injured."
But as he returned it to the mother, the suspects started punching the other officer, which led to a huge scrap between them all before they were able to subdue and arrest him.      
 Both officers were injured during the fight suffering cuts, bruises and one had a sprained shoulder and they were treated at Mount Sinai Hospital and released.
The mother and baby, who did not appear to be injured, left the scene during the fight.
The relationship between the suspect and the woman and child was not immediately known.
