Robert Stockwell was presented with the Royal Humane Society award by the High Sheriff of Bristol, Charles Wyld. As we reported in Issue 548, mum Kayleigh Finn was with her daughter Indie in Hanham High Street last October when the little girl started to choke and turn blue after eating a baby-friendly crisp. Panicked, Kayleigh tried to dislodge the food that was caught in Indie’s throat. At that moment Robert Stockwell, an Avon & Somerset Police vehicle technician was driving past and, noticing a group of people crowded around some scaffolding, realised something was wrong. Thinking that someone may have fallen, he immediately pulled over and asked his wife to call an ambulance, before running over to see if he could help. Robert had recently done Robert Stockwell receiving his award from High Sheriff Charles Wyld a one-day’s basic first aid training and as no one else knew what to do, he stepped in to try the back blow technique. staff that run and instruct the first aid course at the Wilfred nowhere this amazing man stopped his car in the middle of After the fourth blow, Indie finally started crying.
