A man in Japan says he was questioned by police and branded a “pervert” after providing emergency medical assistance to a woman.
The man was attending to the woman who had been involved in a traffic accident when he believes someone who saw him cutting through the woman’s clothes to apply a defibrillator to her bare chest called the police and reported him for behaving inappropriately.

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) analyses the rhythm of the heart and, if necessary, delivers an electrical shock to help it return to normal.
AEDs are provided in public places and are designed to be operated by members of the public, even those with no medical background.
The man is now calling for better understanding of the correct use of AEDs.
