The mother had three small children between the ages of 4 months to 7 years old.
The baby was screaming, so Blazek took her out of her seat and made sure she was OK.
"She immediately laid her head on my shoulder," Blazek said.
After the scene got under control. Blazek sat down with the baby, who quickly fell asleep in his arms.
"It's moments like this, that I am reminded, this is why I do the job," he said.
