DENVER — A paramedic rushed to help a police officer who was being attacked by a murder suspect.
KDVR reported that Paramedic Lt. Otis McKay Jr. and Officer Jonathan Davis responded to an assault call June 16. They found two teens with severe facial injuries and another victim lying in the street with a man standing over his motionless body.
“Lt. McKay and Officer Davis quickly recognized that the situation may possibly be a homicide in progress,” officials said.
Officer Davis ordered the suspect to the ground, but the man charged at Davis, knocking his firearm to the ground and tackling him.
When McKay saw the situation, he rushed to help. McKay and Davis fought with the suspect until backup arrived and the man was subdued, according to officials.
Both McKay and Davis were injured in the fight, but police said McKay possibly saved Davis’ life.
