The duty officer at the Lubin police headquarters received information from a Lubin resident who had seen a man lying on the railway tracks. “After receiving the report, the duty officer immediately sent traffic police officers who, to reach the location indicated by the woman as quickly as possible, used their lights and siren,” reports warrant officer Sylwia Serafin, press officer for the District Police Headquarters in Lubin. “As they passed the railway station, the officers noticed a passenger train standing there, with passengers boarding it
The police officers informed the duty officer about the incident, and he contacted the railway dispatcher, who halted train traffic along the route for the duration of the rescue operation.
A moment later, the officers noticed the desperate man lying on the tracks. When he saw the patrol, the man got up and fled into nearby bushes.
A short while later, the 32-year-old resident of Lubin County was already in the officers’ custody. It turned out that the desperate man was completely drunk; a test showed more than 2.5 parts per thousand of alcohol in his system. The man explained that he had threatened his loved ones that he would kill himself because of personal problems.
Spokeswoman:
Because his life and health were at risk, the desperate man was detained in police custody until he sobered up. Once he was sober, doctors took care of him.
Police:
In cases where a person’s life is at risk, the most important thing is to save it. To arrive with help in time. The causes and reasons why this happens can always be explained later; a life cannot be restored. Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, when someone needs help, police officers act as quickly as possible.
