The Malta Police Force has awarded Constable Charlene Delia for her heroic act in saving a 4-year-old from being run over by a car.

Constable Delia jumped in front of the moving car which was about to hit the girl and, during an event celebrating excellence in customer care service, was celebrated by her fellow police officers. The event, organised by the government’s public services branch, is part of Public Service Week.

A comment from one of the parents said that they “would like to commend and thank the policewoman in Rabat tonight (outside St Paul’s Church), who jumped out in front of a car to save [her 4-year-old] daughter from being run over as she was scooting to catch up”, going on to say that “she is a real hero.”

The parent went on to state that at the time, they were so stress “and embarrassed at [their] poor judgement], they didn’t even stop to thank her”, also apologising for it.

A huge well done goes out to PC Delia!
