A 67-year-old chareidi man collapsed while walking on Pines Street in Jerusalem’s Mekor Baruch neighborhood on Sunday, and was found without a pulse or breathing.
The incident happened on a busy stretch of Pines Street, a main walking route between the city center and the Geula neighborhood. Responders from MDA’s Tzevet Hatzalah unit and United Hatzalah arrived within a short time and found him unconscious in the street.
“When we arrived, we saw a 67-year-old man lying in the street without a pulse and without breathing, after he had suddenly collapsed, according to passersby,” said Tzevet Hatzalah paramedic Naftali Sofer, who treated him with medics Sruli Wells and Dudi Neugarten.
The team performed advanced resuscitation at the scene. After his pulse and breathing returned, a mobile intensive care unit took him to Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
Kikar HaShabbat reported that he was taken to the hospital in critical condition, while United Hatzalah said his condition was serious but stable.
