A team of hero police officers have been recognised for their bravery in helping a knife-wielding man with mental issues who had seriously injured himself by severing an artery.
The officers from West Lothian were recognised at the prestigious Scottish First Aid Awards ceremony held in Glasgow on Friday.
The annual event, organised by Scotland’s only dedicated first aid charity, St Andrew’s First Aid, saw Police Constables Rachael Hendry, Chris Smart, Nikki Smith and David Jones from the East J Division, take home the Chairman’s Award in recognition of a heroic act of bravery and first aid intervention in the face of a high risk situation.
