A story has been shared about a citizen and police officers who saved a customer who lost consciousness and collapsed while dining at a restaurant. On the 1st, the National Police Agency's YouTube channel uploaded a video titled "A police officer rushing out urgently! Inside the mysterious bag he carried out." The video captured an emergency situation that occurred around September at a restaurant in Namdong-gu, Incheon. At that time, a customer dining suddenly dropped the cup in his hand and lowered his head onto the table, showing abnormal symptoms. The companions dining facing this customer approached to check his condition, but he was unconscious. The group immediately called 119 for rescue.

Meanwhile, another customer watching from a nearby table immediately ran outside the restaurant. He ran to a police box located 20 meters away. He asked the police officers for help, saying, "A customer in the restaurant lost consciousness and is currently receiving emergency treatment." The police officers hurriedly ran out to check the situation on site. One of the officers returned to the police box to get an automated external defibrillator (AED) and then ran back to follow.

The police officer who arrived at the restaurant first confirmed that the customer was not breathing, laid him on the floor, and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Shortly after, another officer who arrived prepared to operate the AED, and fortunately, the customer regained consciousness. Incidentally, the police officers at this police box had received regular CPR and AED training that morning. After confirming the return of breathing, the officers continued talking to and massaging the customer to prevent him from losing consciousness again until the ambulance arrived. The customer was then transported to the hospital, received treatment, and recovered health.

Netizens who watched the video responded with comments such as "Thank you always for protecting the precious lives of the people," "Thank you to the police officers who protect citizens' lives day and night," "It was truly fortunate that the police box was nearby," "I was impressed by the quick response ability of the citizen who ran out as well as the police," and "I support the police officers who protected citizens' lives in this emergency situation."
