A man suddenly breaks down on a walk - heart attack! The fact that he is still alive is thanks to the quick action of a jogger. And the police.
Hamm - A Sunday afternoon, the walks along the canal in Hamm near Dortmund (NRW) are well frequented. A 64-year-old is also on the water with his wife.
Suddenly the man breaks down: heart attack! A jogger recognizes the life-threatening situation and provides first aid immediately. A passerby dials the police emergency number.
Even if the officers are actually not the first (telephone) choice: the patrol car crew that arrives shortly afterwards do not hesitate: the police immediately begin resuscitating the heart-sick man.
The police chief thanked them for their rapid intervention. WA.de * explains why the officials were not only happy with the course of this mission.
