Police Officer Commended For Emergency Aid

The Bermuda Police Service [BPS] is “commending the heroic actions of Police Constable Julian Brassington, whose rapid response and life-saving first aid were instrumental in saving the life of a stabbing victim.”

A police spokesperson said, “Shortly before 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 31, 2026, officers responded to a reported altercation in the City of Hamilton. Upon arrival, they discovered two male victims suffering from stab wounds, on the sidewalk opposite the Number One Carpark on Front Street.

“Recognizing the injuries sustained by one of the victims to be life threatening, PC Brassington immediately rendered emergency assistance, transferring his body-weight to apply direct, constant pressure to the wound, even as the victim was being moved. PC Brassington remained on the gurney with the victim while he was conveyed by ambulance to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, ensuring the wound remained compressed and blood loss was minimized.

“It was noted that, given the severity of the wound, PC Brassington’s immediate and sustained intervention to prevent further blood loss ultimately saved the man’s life.”

Deputy Commissioner of Police Na’imah Astwood commended the officer for his life saving efforts. “The actions of Constable Brassington represent the very best of the Bermuda Police Service. His quick thinking, composure under pressure, and dedication to preserving life exemplify the commitment our officers have to the safety and well-being of the Bermuda community.”

A police spokesperson added, “The investigation into the incident is ongoing. The Bermuda Police Service once again encourages anyone who may have information regarding the circumstances involved to contact Detective Inspector, Tiffany Caisey on, 717-2294 or, via e-mail at tcaisey@bps.bm

“You may also call the main police number, 295-0011 or the independent and confidential Crime Stoppers number 800-8477.”
