Dubai Police officer saves suicidal European man

An officer of the General Department of Criminal Investigation at Dubai Police has saved a European man’s life after he had tried to commit suicide in his rented room in a villa in Dubai.

Commenting on the incident, Brigadier Jamal Salem Al Jalaf, Director of Criminal Investigation Department in Dubai Police, said that the Dubai Police Command & Control Centre received a report last Thursday, at 11:00 PM from a European claiming that his friend has expressed his intention to commit suicide on his Facebook account due to some financial and social issues.

“Dubai Police instantly responded to the report and located the suicidal man’s residence in Al Bada and reached his villa in a very short period of time.” “Our team confirmed the report with the villa’s landlord who hadn’t seen the man for days.” Al Jalaf added.

As the European man was trying to hang himself and in short of breath in a locked room, a brave Dubai officer climbed to the second floor through the veranda and to rescue the man just in time.

After the officer has broken into the room through the veranda’s door, he found the man unconscious and barely breathing and he immediately performed on CPR on him.

Brig. Al Jallaf praised the officer’s mindfulness, efforts and quick response to the situation.

The man was rushed to hospital where he received the necessary medical care. A psychiatrists’ team from Dubai Police has also attended to the psychological condition and needs of the man who expressed his deepest regrets for attempting to take his own life.
