A Queen’s Hospital security guard told of how she saved a patient’s life by stopping him from throwing himself off the roof of the building.
When Lucy Eaton arrived for the night shift on January 13, she was expecting a fairly routine, if not quiet, evening at work.
However, she was called into rapid action when a young patient was caught on CCTV, running into the multi-storey car park lift and attempting to climb over the railings on the hospital’s roof.
The 22-year-old security guard had already noticed him behaving “not as himself” and she had been keeping an eye on him in the lead-up to the incident.
