Then, I passed out.” Hudson immediately sprinted up the hill toward the fallen man, calling out to a nearby security forces defender to call for medical assistance. Upon reaching the injured, Hudson turned the man over as three women arrived at his side, stating that they were nurses. Hudson and the team immediately began the CPR process.
