Stab vest saves officer in England
Healthcare Security Weekly, December 5, 2005
A hospital security officer in England is crediting a specially designed vest with saving his life, reports the Yorkshire Post.
While escorting four men off hospital grounds last week, one of the men stabbed Paul Poruba with a knife.
The men all escaped, but Poruba came away from the incident unharmed as the protective vest he was wearing took the brunt of the blow.
Poruba says he responded to the call about four drunken males between ages 16-20 and that he never saw the knife until it was too late.
All security officers at the facility are equipped with stab-safe vests, though this was the first knife attack at the hospital.
