The timely intervention of a Bahraini saved the life of an Indian man who had reportedly tried to commit suicide. The man’s cut windpipe saved his life, medics told the Tribune yesterday.
Rughumaya Molya, aged 38 years, had slit his throat in the common bathroom of a three-storey building in Tubli on Saturday.
The Bahraini who owns a shop in the building premises found the man in a pool of blood and immediately called 999. When the medics arrived at the scene they found the man was still alive and rushed him to the emergency department of the Salmaniya Medical Complex.
“He had cut his throat severely but survived because the cut had pierced the windpipe; this inadvertently allowed him to breathe and also prolonged his life. He was brought to the hospital in the nick of time. We have operated and closed the wound. He is in a stable condition,” said a hospital official.
