A POLICEMAN from Andover is one of two Hamp-shire officers to receive top national awards for their fight to save the life of a 75-year-old heart attack victim.
Although Elizabeth Song-hurst from Kent died days later after a second heart attack, Pc Stephen Antrobus from Andover and Pc Richard Webb from Fleet are to receive awards for reviving her after the first.
Each will receive a Resuscitation Certificate from the Royal Humane Society following the incident at Basingstoke on 6 June.
Pc Antrobus was flagged down and told Mrs Songhurst was in a stationary car having a suspected heart attack. When he arrived her lips were blue and she was not breathing. He pulled her from the car and, with the help of Pc Webb, carried out resuscitation.
