Man in cardiac arrest saved as two off-duty police and a nurse were passing

A man who suffered a cardiac arrest while at the wheel of his car was saved when two off-fury police officers dragged him into the road and started carrying out CPR. John Walker, 69, was kept alive in the road bu the officers and then off-duty nurse Sarah Watson.

All three stayed with John until an ambulance arrived to take him to hospital. He spent several days in intensive care, where he experienced a heart attack, but defied the odds to return home to wife Jean, 68.

Speaking to Mirror, John said: "The three of them performed CPR on me and they definitely saved my life. They are angels, definitely. I had blocked the road, I was on the middle of the road so I think there two armed police vehicles turned up, another police car, and a police van turned up within minutes really."
