Garofalo, 57, of Totowa told CBS2 that he asked the youngster where his mother was and he pointed inside.

He found the woman unconscious from a bad reaction to medication and quickly dialed 911, CBS2 reported.

“If it wasn’t for him, the EMT wouldn’t have gotten there as quickly and I would’ve been brought to the hospital,” she told the TV station.

Garofalo, who’s been on the route for 32 years, received a Life Saving Award Thursday from the U.S. Postal Service.
