The hero NYPD cop caught on video clutching the 4-year-old girl wounded in the Times Square shooting shared a Mother’s Day message to the tot’s mom: "She’ll be OK."
Officer Alyssa Vogel offered words of comfort Sunday to Skye Martinez’s mother — a day after the woman watched her baby take a bullet to the leg during a visit to the tourist mecca.
"Keep your head up," Vogel told The Post when asked if she had a message for the injured tot’s mom. "The little girl’s going to be able to walk again. She’ll be OK."
The fast-acting officer — a mom to a 6-month-old boy herself — recalled trying to reassure Skye’s mother in the moments after the shooting late Saturday afternoon.
"I kept telling her to breathe, that I know what she’s going through because I have a baby myself," said Vogel. "It was very difficult for her, very traumatic. She saw her daughter just get shot."
