Commuter Rush at Wangsimni Station: A Miracle Amid the Crowds

During the morning rush hour, a man suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed at a subway station.

As it happened, police officers were passing by, and together with citizens, they performed CPR to rescue him.

The incident occurred around 7:00 AM on the platform of Wangsimni Station on July 15.

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

Citizens who witnessed this quickly moved the man from the end of the escalator to a safe spot and checked his condition.

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

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

Following an exhausted Sergeant Lee, a nearby citizen took over the CPR, and another citizen stepped in to help as well, ensuring that emergency first aid continued without interruption.

The man was subsequently transported to the hospital by emergency responders and is reported to have safely recovered his health.

It is a truly heartwarming story of citizens coming together.
