DUSTIN HOFFMAN SAVES JOGGER'S LIFE
- Dustin Hoffman is the latest in a string of heroic Hollywood stars, as he recently rushed to the rescue of a London jogger whose heart stopped while he was working out at Hyde Park, the London Evening Standard reports.
According to the paper, the 74-year-old actor was walking in the park on April 27 when he saw 27-year-old Sam Dempster, a lawyer, "staggering and frothing at the mouth" before he collapsed.
Hoffman called for help and stayed with Dempster as paramedics treated him. As one of the paramedics, Martin Macarthur, told the paper, Hoffman helped save the young man's life.
"We got there very quickly and it was obvious [Dempster] was in cardiac arrest. He was taking dying breaths so we had to act fast," Macarthur said. "Dustin had turned him over on to his back, which was really useful and would have assisted in making sure his airways were open."
If Hoffman hadn't rushed forward to assist, the situation's outcome could've been "very bad," Macarthur said.
