## Caption

65-year-old Roussel was shopping with his son at northlandshopping Centre last month, when he suffered a cardiac arrest, collapsing to the ground suddenly.⁣
 ⁣
As quick-thinking bystanders raised the alarm, First Constables Daphne Turney and Megan Neill happened to be on foot patrol just a few metres away.⁣
 ⁣
First Constable Turney and an off-duty nurse immediately commenced CPR, with Securecorp security officers later stepping in before a defibrillator delivered three lifesaving shocks.⁣
 ⁣
firerescuevictoria and ambulancevic crews arrived soon after, taking over the man's care. He was taken to hospital where he has since had a pacemaker fitted and is on the path to recovery.⁣
 ⁣
Prior to returning home to the Seychelles, Roussel and his son met with the police and security officers, firefighters and paramedics that helped saved his life.⁣
 ⁣
Senior Sergeant Lee-Anne Hamilton from Preston Police Station commended the efforts of everyone involved.⁣
 ⁣
“There is no greater act than the preservation of life. The work of bystanders, security and emergency services was nothing short of remarkable. We couldn’t be prouder.”⁣
 ⁣
Neither could we, Lee-Anne 💙⁣
