Patrol officers assisted a Kharkiv resident who had become a hostage in her own home.
This was reported by the Patrol Police of the Kharkiv region, as conveyed by "Dumka".
The patrol officers explained that they were called by a concerned social worker. She informed them that an elderly woman she was caring for had not been responding and was not opening the door.
The house was locked. Through a window, the officers noticed the woman in a helpless state. She was lying on the floor and barely moving.
The woman urgently needed assistance. Inspectors Vitaliy Zaytsev, Valeriy Leonov, and Marina Zibneva wasted no time in opening the door to the house.
Upon entering, we immediately began to provide aid to the woman, who had been lying in an unheated room for a long time. The patrol officers monitored her condition until the ambulance arrived. Medical personnel hospitalized the victim.
