"I Really Want to Say Thank You"... Police Searching for Taxi Driver Who Saved Baby

Taxi Driver Helps Transport 12-Month-Old Baby

The police are searching for a taxi driver who helped urgently transport a 12-month-old baby who lost consciousness due to a high fever.

According to Yonhap News on July 16, the Namdong Police Station in Incheon announced that on June 4 at around 9:27 p.m., taxi driver A rapidly approached a stationary police patrol car with high beams flashing on a road in Guwol-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon, seeking help.

After getting out of the taxi with guardian B, who was holding the baby girl, A ran to the patrol car and told the police, "We are transporting a 12-month-old baby who lost consciousness due to a high fever to the hospital," asking for their assistance. Sensing the urgency of the situation, the officers immediately put the baby and her mother, B, into the patrol car and rushed to the emergency room of a nearby general hospital.

Thanks to drivers and pedestrians who made way after hearing the patrol car siren, it took less than one minute to reach the hospital, and the baby was discharged safely after receiving treatment.

B said, "The situation was so urgent at the time that I was unable to get the taxi driver's contact information," and added, "I really want to thank you, so please get in touch with me." Anyone who is A or knows A is asked to contact the Namdong Police Station in Incheon.

A police official stated, "We would like to thank the taxi driver who helped save a precious life, as well as all Incheon citizens who yielded on the road," and added, "If the taxi driver is identified, we plan to present an official letter of appreciation."
