Commuter Rush at Wangsimni Station: A Miracle Amid the Crowds

During the morning commute, a man collapsed and lost consciousness at a subway station.

Fortunately, a police officer happened to be passing by, and together with citizens, they performed CPR to save him.

This took place on the platform of Wangsimni Station around 7:00 AM on June 15.

A man was riding down the escalator when he suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed.

Witnessing this, citizens quickly moved the man from the end of the escalator to a safe spot and checked his condition.

At that moment, a man pushed through the crowd and without hesitation began performing CPR.

That man was Police Senior Inspector Lee Hyun-woo of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Urban Expressway Patrol Unit, who was on his way to work.

Following the exhausted Inspector Lee, a nearby citizen took over the CPR, and yet another citizen stepped in to help right after, ensuring that emergency first aid continued without interruption.

The man was subsequently transported to a hospital by emergency services, and it was reported that he has fortunately recovered his health.

This is a heartwarming story of truly grateful citizens.
