Two off-duty police officers and a nurse helped to save a man's life after he fell ill in his car.
Detective Constable Paddy Little was on a bike ride with his son when he came across 69-year-old John Walker on Dykelands Road, Seaburn, in Sunderland, who had fallen ill at the wheel of his parked car. DC Little, who works for the North East Regional Organised Crime Unit (NEROCU), immediately came to his aid.
He was supported by Police Constable Jonathan Buckster of Durham Constabulary, and nurse Sarah Watson from the NHS South Tyneside and Sunderland Foundation Trust, who were also off-duty in the area on March 11. All three worked together to remove John from his car and give him first aid and life-saving CPR until an ambulance arrived at the scene.
