[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A man in his 60s, who felt his life was threatened due to chest pain, was dramatically rescued after signaling a passing patrol car with his high beams on and honking the horn.


The Haenam Police Station in Jeonnam announced on the 12th that during flexible patrol duty, they discovered an emergency patient and urgently transported him, saving his life.


At around 7:30 a.m. that day, the police noticed a vehicle shining its high beams at the patrol car and continuously honking the horn.


The driver, Mr. A (61), was complaining of chest pain and shouting, "Please save me."


Sensing the urgency of the situation, the police quickly put Mr. A into the patrol car and transported him to a nearby general hospital emergency room. Mr. A immediately received emergency treatment.


After regaining consciousness, Mr. A expressed his gratitude repeatedly, saying, "If the police had not seen me honking the horn, I would have died immediately."



Moon Byung-jo, chief of Haenam Police Station, emphasized, "Through flexible patrols, we were able to discover the emergency patient early and save a precious life," adding, "Early detection of emergency patients on the road through preventive activities is important."
