"When he turned the baby towards me a little bit, his face was all red. I couldn't see his skin. It was just covered with blood," Macchioni said. "I said, 'Clean his face off, get that blood off his face.' And there was blood running down, so I said put something there too." Macchioni said he quickly tried calling 911 but had trouble because he'd just gotten a new phone a week earlier.
Macchioni said he and his grandson have a special bond. He said the child rushes downstairs every morning to greet him, adding the two have breakfast together while the child does some exercises.
