A traffic officer in Bangkok’s Nong Khang Phlu district is being praised for his quick response in assisting a man suffering a medical emergency.
On October 18, 2026, a traffic officer from the Nong Khang Phlu Police Station, identified as Police Lieutenant Kittinat Saengsinsap, provided life-saving assistance to a man experiencing a medical crisis. According to Khaosod Online, the officer was on duty near the entrance of Thonburi University on Phetkasem Road when he noticed a man leaning against a shop door, unresponsive to verbal communication.
Upon investigation, the officer provided initial support to ensure the man’s safety. When the individual began to suffer a seizure, the officer placed him in a secure position and contacted the 1669 emergency medical hotline.
