An elderly man was injured in a hit and run in Hartford, CT and no one stopped to help him. Article here.
Warning: This video is disturbing, but unfortunately real life.
In the article, a witness said he didn't know how to help the man since he was bleeding an unconscious. For those who would react as this man did, here are a few things you SHOULD do:
Instruct someone to call 911
Immediately check the victim to see if they are ok
Comfort the victim
If you know CPR or any first aid, apply those techniques
Instruct someone to run after the cars that hit him to get the license plate
Have cars stop on both sides of the road to create a road block instead of driving around him
Most of all, be present in the situation. This isn't a movie. This isn't a video game. This is a man who was hit and severely injured. One minute and 35 seconds passed and NO ONE helped him.
What is wrong with people?!
