Sheikh Mohamed praises cop for his timely help to motorist

A policeman's timely assistance offered to a motorist as his vehicle broke down in the middle of a busy highway has received praise from the highest quarters. The policeman was honoured by the Sharjah Police last week.

His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, praised Sergeant Ahmed Hassan Al Hammadi from the Sharjah Police for assisting Zain Al Abidin, whose vehicle broke down on the Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Road.

Taking to Twitter, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed posted a photo of Sergeant Ahmed and Zain Al Abidin and said: “Offering help and good deeds are deeply rooted values in the UAE society. The gesture of Ahmed Hassan Al Hammadi from the Sharjah Police for Zain Al Abidin - who expressed his gratitude in kind words - is a recurring example in our blessed land. I thank them, and praise all those who faithfully serve people and represent values of their community.”

Zein Al Abideen described how responsibility and empathy are the values of our nation, and Sergeant Ahmed Al Hammadi demonstrated these values through his exceptional actions. I would like to thank both of them and all those serving on the frontlines - we salute you. pic.twitter.com/TcNHn6hNrB
