Rush locals were stunned by the quick actions of a 14-year-old Polish boy who rushed to save the life of a man whose arm was trapped in a car jack underneath a car.
Filip Szauer was on his holidays visiting relatives in Ireland when he and his cousin heard screams near Rush Community Centre and saw the man trapped under the car with several locals already trying to help.
Filip rushed to help the locals who had called the emergency services and had a basic first aid kit. The group managed to free the man’s arm, but he began to bleed heavily and that’s when Filip’s instincts kicked in and he quickly made a tourniquet to stem the flow of blood and dressed the man’s wound while waiting for the emergency services.
