Rescued from afar

AN 86-YEAR-OLD woman was rescued by police after her son called police from Belgium worrying why she wasn’t answering the phone. Rojales police found the woman lying on the floor and unable to get up after she suffered a fall. She had been laid prone on the floor for two days with no access to food or water. While there were no keys to get indoors, officers got in through a kitchen window and requested medical support. Paramedics stabilised her condition before she was taken to Torrevieja Hospital. Last month, police in Torrevieja rescued a woman, 78, who fell out of bed and spent three days lying on the floor.
