Critical 24 hours for a 31-year-old police officer (video)


Doctors are talking about a critical 24 hours for the 31-year-old policeman who was wounded by a flare in Rentis and is in the intensive care unit.

Only after he comes to his senses, doctors will be able to determinewhether he has brain damage, and how reversible it is. After being hit by a rocket, the man bled for ten minutes and suffered from hypoxemia – insufficient oxygen in the blood. Brain hypoxia means that some of its cells are destroyed, vital organs are destroyed, and it remains to be determined whether the situation is reversible.

According to doctors, the flare exploded inside his leg and burned continuously for 5 minutes, as it contains phosphorus, which cannot be extinguished by foam or water. Doctors are trying to clean his wound as toxic substances continue to be released from phosphorus.

18 year old guy confessedfor throwing a flare, arrested. He stated that he did not mean to throw it directly at the policeman. His lawyer argues that because there was another missile, there is a possibility that it was not the missile that injured the officer.

The young man who returned to the gym after incidents, at the same time confessed his actions to his girlfriend and brother. Previously, an 18-year-old boy was arrested for violence in sports and released because he was a minor.
