Handcuffed teen Jamal Rutledge saves Fort Lauderdale Police Officer Franklin Foulks’ life
ARRESTED teenager Jamal Rutledge was in lockup when the police officer processing him suddenly collapsed. Watch what happens next.
A HANDCUFFED teenager is being hailed as a hero after he helped save the life of a police officer who was processing him.
Last September, Jamal Rutledge — a juvenile defendant — was arrested on charges of criminal mischief and burglary, according to NBC Miami.
But as officer Franklin Foulks was booking Rutledge, the cop collapsed holding his chest in distress.
Rutledge immediately began to kick the security fence and yell for help, the Fort Lauderdale Police Department said.
A nearby officer heard Rutledge’s cries and radioed for help. A rescue team arrived shortly after and transported Foulks to hospital.
The FLPD said attending medical staff noted quick action by Rutledge and other cops saved Foulks’ life.
Rutledge and three other officers involved will be honoured publicly next week.
