80-Year-Old Collapses in Patrol Car... Saved by Police Officer and Doctor

First, let's look at the story of a man in his 80s who lost consciousness in a patrol car.

An elderly man in his 80s with limited mobility suddenly lost consciousness inside a patrol car.

Fortunately, however, he was able to recover thanks to the emergency measures taken by a police officer.

This is the person right here.

Senior Patrol Officer Lee Gang-hoon of the Seoul Yangcheon Police Station was dispatched last month after receiving a report that there was an elderly person with limited mobility.

To help the man in his 80s sitting next to a pharmacy return home safely, officers placed him in the back seat of the patrol car.

The reported location was a five-minute drive from his residence.

However, while en route, the elderly man suddenly complained of chest pain and lost consciousness and breathing.

Judging the situation to be critical, Officer Lee pulled over to a safe location and performed CPR, just as a passerby happened to walk by.

In a stroke of great luck, that passerby turned out to be a medical doctor.

These two individuals performed emergency measures together like this.

The elderly man's consciousness gradually returned, and shortly afterward, emergency fire services arrived and checked his condition, fortunately finding nothing unusual.

Senior Patrol Officer Lee Gang-hoon is someone who drew attention four years ago for saving a citizen's life using CPR.

Thanks to people like Officer Lee and the passing doctor, the world still seems like a good place to live.
