A Vietnamese traffic police team promptly took a three-year-old Japanese boy to hospital after receiving a request for help from the driver of a long-haul bus that was carrying the boy on an expressway in northern Vietnam on Friday.
At 11:20 am on Friday, the team was patrolling on the freeway that links the country’s capital Hanoi and northern Hai Phong Province when they received the driver’s request for assistance in an emergency case.
The request was made through an online chat group set up between local patrol traffic police forces and passenger transportation service providers.
The driver told the team that a Japanese boy on board the vehicle had symptoms of food poisoning and needed to be hospitalized urgently.
The team, under the Ministry of Public Security’s Traffic Police Department, immediately reported the case to its headquarters and deployed a specialized police vehicle to access the long-haul bus according to the driver’s instructions.
Police officers then received the three-year-old boy, K.S., along with his two family members, from the driver and promptly took them in the specialized car to a hospital in Hai Phong, where the child received emergency aid.
By the afternoon of the same day, the child had recovered after receiving treatment and care, doctors said.
