In Shchuchinsk, Akmola Region, patrol police officers rushed a mother and her infant, who had stopped breathing, to hospital. The incident occurred on November 8, and the woman later recounted it while thanking the officers, the website infohub.kz reports.
According to the city resident, her baby suddenly stopped breathing. The parents rushed to hospital in a panic but hit a traffic jam on the way. "The child had no clothes on, I ran out in just my socks — we had no thought for anything but saving the baby. Every second counted," the woman recalled.
The small child urgently needed medical help, but the heavy traffic prevented the parents from reaching the medical facility quickly. At that moment, a patrol crew — senior inspector Bekzhan Iskendir and his partner Nurzhan Kurmangozhin — was on Auezov Street. The officers noticed a car from which a distressed woman ran out with a child in her arms.
Assessing the situation, the officers immediately came to help. They moved the woman and the baby into their official vehicle and, with flashing lights and siren on, quickly delivered them to hospital.
"You helped us in the most terrifying moment of our lives, when we needed help most. We will never forget what you did! Deepest gratitude for your kind hearts and humanity," the woman said in thanks.
