Three men who saved a life at Corby boxing event praised by police
Police officers have praised three men after their quick-thinking actions saved a life in Corby.
Northamptonshire Police’s control room received a call from a member of the public reporting that a man attending a boxing event at a hotel in Geddington Road had gone into cardiac arrest at about 10.45pm on Friday (October 16).
Officers were deployed to the scene and by the time they got there, three men - Jonah Burdett, Bradly Miller and Simon Barclay - had provided life-saving treatment by using a defibrillator and giving the man chest compressions and rescue breaths.
The man was taken to hospital and is thankfully on the road to recovery.
Chief Inspector Nathan Shepherd said: “I would like to thank Jonah, Bradly and Simon for how quickly they acted on Friday.
“Faced with an extremely distressing and fast-moving situation, they remained calm, took immediate action, and worked together to provide vital life-saving treatment until emergency services arrived.
“Their quick-thinking and calmness under pressure undoubtedly saved a life and they should be incredibly proud of what they did.
“Their response is a fantastic example of the difference members of the public can make in an emergency.”
