PC Nadeem Wins Another Major Award
PC Mohammed Nadeem who works in Bury, Greater Manchester was hailed a hero after saving the life of a man who fell into the River Irwell in the UK. The incident took place in February earlier this year. PC Mohammed leapt in to action into the 8ft deep freezing water on Saturday the 17th February, 2018. The man had fallen into the river when PC Nadeem had arrived at the scene. Nadeem’s primary concern was for the welfare of the man. PC Nadeem was able to swim over to the man and bring him towards safety. PC Nadeem stated that he wasn’t a great swimmer really, his natural reaction was to try and save the man. PC Nadeem was hailed as a hero by his colleagues, friends and family.
Following the incident, the PC picked up a national Police Bravery Award and was amazed when the famous actor David Hasselhoff appeared on screen to congratulate him.
