Swift action from a Dubai police sergeant saved the life of an airline passenger who suffered an epileptic seizure while travelling through Dubai International Airport.
The 44-year-old was going through a security at Terminal 2 when he collapsed to the floor and started convulsing before he choked on his tongue.
Sergeant Mohammad Khalid Mohammad, who works for the General Department of Airport Security at Dubai Police, provided the man with emergency first aid.
“Sgt Mohammad, who is trained to administer first aid in such cases, firmly pushed the angle of the jaw forward to assist the man with breathing and performed CPR to help him regain consciousness," a spokesman for Dubai Police said.
"He then waited for the ambulance and medical team to arrive to ensure the man's safety."
Emergency services rushed the passenger to Rashid Hospital in the city for further treatment. He is expected to make a full recovery.
Meanwhile, the officer was honoured for his swift response by Brigadier Mohammed Al Mazroui, deputy director of airport security at Dubai Police.
"We believe that the medical training of our staff is as necessary as the security training," Brigadier Al Mazroui said.

The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.

Dirham Stretcher tips for having a baby in the UAE
Selma Abdelhamid, the group's moderator, offers her guide to guide the cost of having a young family:
• Buy second hand stuff
They grow so fast. Don't get a second hand car seat though, unless you 100 per cent know it's not expired and hasn't been in an accident.
• Get a health card and vaccinate your child for free at government health centres
Ms Ma says she discovered this after spending thousands on vaccinations at private clinics.
• Join mum and baby coffee mornings provided by clinics, babysitting companies or nurseries.
Before joining baby classes ask for a free trial session. This way you will know if it's for you or not. You'll be surprised how great some classes are and how bad others are.
• Once baby is ready for solids, cook at home
Take the food with you in reusable pouches or jars. You'll save a fortune and you'll know exactly what you're feeding your child.
