Clinkscales did the Heimlich maneuver on the woman. He's heard asking, "Did you get it?"
The food dislodged, but the woman fainted. She was transported to a hospital and examined, as a precaution.
Her father, Austin police Detective Duncan Dunn, says his daughter is very thankful and expressed appreciation on her behalf. Authorities say the woman was eating a chicken biscuit when she choked.
