An Airport policeman is being celebrated on social media after helping a completely distraught woman in her time of need.
Johannesburg, South Africa – Isma Theron De-Witt shared a story on Facebook yesterday after leaving her handbag on an aeroplane. With no money, a flat phone, no charger, no cigarettes and no hope, Officer Vincent came to her rescue.
“Meet Officer Vincent from SAPS OR Tambo. I think he got the fright of his life tonight when he found this grown ass woman (that would be me) sitting on the airport floor bawling her eyes out. In a rush to catch the gautrain I forgot my handbag on the plane- kind of important.”
De-Witt was sent from pillar to post but was not getting the help she needed.
“So I was sent from Counter to counter just to find closed offices wherever I went, with ZERO help from airport staff. Fed up and frustrated I broke down. In public. I had no money, a flat phone, no charger, no cigarettes and no hope.”
Officer Vincent found her bordering on an anaphylactic reaction, crying and gasping for air, immediately offering to take De-Witt to medical help, and took swift action to help her find the bag.
“Not only did this man patiently sit with me to calm me down, but he eventually found my hand bag and even helped me find an airport transfer when my app wasnt working.
And stayed with me all along.
So blessed to have met one of the gems of the SAPS!!! Thanks officer Vincent! Thank you ten million times and more!!!”
