A man stabbed in the neck was saved by the quick actions of OPBA members Officers Moira White and Sgt. Timmothy Ink this past November.

First on the scene to a 911 call on Watson Ave in Fostoria, Ohio, Officers White and Ink found the victim lying on the ground bleeding severely from the neck.

They immediately began first aid by putting pressure on the wound, then utilized a “quick clotting” bandage and maintained direct pressure until paramedics arrived. The victim was flown by air ambulance to Toledo Hospital where he recovered from his injury.

On behalf of the OPBA and Captain Patrick Brooks of the Fostoria Police Division, we commend these officers for their life-saving actions!
