POLICE officers came to the rescue of an elderly man who fell over in the city centre yesterday afternoon.
The two officers, who were driving in an unmarked police car, spotted the man, who was lying on the ground close to the Evening Telegraph offices, in Bourges Boulevard at about 2.15pm.
The policemen called for an ambulance, and staff treated the elderly man for minor head injuries at the scene before taking him to Peterborough District Hospital.
A police spokesman said: "We were alerted to the scene after police in an unmarked car spotted the man on the ground.
"When we first arrived the man was unconscious. He suffered a bump to the head and the ambulance staff treated him before taking him to hospital."
There were only minor traffic delays along the road for a few minutes while emergency vehicles took up one lane of the carriageway on the A15 and passing motorists slowed down to see what had happened.
