Updating the public on the incident, Cambridgeshire Constabulary said: “It was a case of right place, right time, for some of our city centre neighbourhood officers on Tuesday morning.

“As two of them were pulling up to the Town Hall to start their foot patrols, a man collapsed in front of them.

“While one commenced CPR, our PCSO rushed into the Town Hall to get a defibrillator and commenced CPR, before colleagues who arrived to assist took over until paramedics arrived.

“The quick actions of our officers ultimately saved the man’s life, who was taken off to hospital in the company of his family, to be cared for by medics.

“No two days in policing are ever the same, we never quite know what we are going to be faced with when we come into work!”
