Mike Sorrentino, former star of MTV's "The Jersey Shore," shared video on Instagram of his son choking Saturday, calling the incident, "the scariest moment of our lives."

"I am so proud of how my wife and I didn’t panic, didn’t hesitate and eventually dislodged the food which was blocking airway and saved his life," Sorrentino wrote in a post accompanying the video.
