Video released on Monday showed Suffolk County first responders saving a baby's life after it was unresponsive for half an hour.
Eyewitness News, which aired the video, reported that two men from Long Island were indicted Monday in connection to the near-fatal fentanyl overdose of the infant back in January.
Robert Mauro, 39, and a 35-year-old man from Lake Grove, who was not identified, were both indicted by the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office.
The first responders were dispatched to the 35-year-old's home for a report of an unresponsive infant.
When they arrived, they found an 11-month-old boy who had turned blue and was having trouble breathing.
Once at the hospital, the child was diagnosed with acute fentanyl poisoning.
"It is heartbreaking to see a defenseless and innocent child become yet another casualty of a deadly illegal drug. What is more outrageous is that the child's father is alleged to have placed his own son in close proximity to such poison," said District Attorney Raymond Tierney.
Both men were arraigned on the indictment and remanded.
