A crackdown team patrolling for illegal street vendors and ticket scalpers in front of Jamsil Baseball Stadium has rescued a baseball fan in his 70s who collapsed on the street.
According to the Seoul Sports Facilities Management Center on Thursday (June 25), the contracted enforcement team was patrolling near a street vendor stall in front of Exit 5 of Sports Complex Station on June 21 when they discovered an unidentified man in his 70s who had collapsed.
One team member, identified by his surname Lee, immediately performed chest compressions to stabilize the patient's breathing and provided continuous massage to ensure he did not lose consciousness completely.
Another team member, surnamed Kim, discovered medication the patient was taking and helped him ingest it, while a third team member, also surnamed Kim, secured an access route for the ambulance to ensure 119 emergency responders could reach the scene quickly.
Thanks to the initial actions taken by the team members, the patient regained his breath before the 119 emergency crew arrived and was in a stable condition when handed over to the paramedics.
The patient, who was wearing an LG Twins professional baseball team uniform, was confirmed to have a pre-existing heart condition.
The Seoul Sports Facilities Management Center stated, "Based on the emergency response training our order maintenance team members regularly practice, they were able to remain calm in a critical situation and provide swift initial aid, ultimately saving a citizen's precious life."
