"I came out and asked him what was wrong and he said -- ack -- you know, he's like you know, pat my back, so I started patting his back and he kind of was showing me how he wanted it down, and he's demonstrating and I'm trying, but I was like, I'm just going to do the Heimlich," said Pavel.
After a couple thrusts the man ended up saying he swallowed whatever it was.
Pavel says his training in mixed martial arts helped tremendously during the rescue.
