Three French gendarmes save 80-year-old man with CPR
Three gendarmes from a Surveillance and Intervention Peloton (PSIG) saved the life of an 80-year-old man in a Morbihan shopping center on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The officers were conducting a security mission at the location when the man experienced a medical emergency.
The gendarmes performed cardiac massage for approximately 20 minutes. The National Gendarmerie confirmed that the intervention was life-saving. The incident occurred while the officers were managing a security detail in a high-pressure environment involving several hundred protesters near a hypermarket.
While the Gendarmerie and the Morbihan prefecture have praised the officers' actions, specific details regarding the man's current health status, the name of the shopping center, or the specific municipality have not been released.
