Sometimes the biggest heroes come in the smallest packages. On New Year’s Eve in Lakenheath, three kids showed incredible courage that saved a man’s life.
Quick Thinking Near the River
Jacob MacLeod, 10, Patrick Kroszkiewicz, 10, and 14-year-old Poppy James were playing by a river when they spotted a man lying unconscious on the muddy riverbank. Without hesitation, the trio sprang into action.
They ran to nearby adults and raised the alarm immediately. A 999 call was made, and emergency services were on the scene within minutes.
Helping Paramedics Beat the Clock
The ambulance crew from East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust faced a tricky recovery due to the steep, slippery terrain. Thankfully, young Jacob helped guide medics straight to the man’s location.
