A rookie cop who just wouldn’t take no for an answer saved the life of a woman who had passed out in her Brooklyn apartment Saturday night.
Officer Greg Long – on the job all of three weeks – was walking his beat at 9 p.m. when Marsha Alexis flagged him down and said she hadn’t heard from her diabetic aunt, Vora James, in five days.
The two rushed to James’ Ocean Avenue address, but the super told them it was too late and to come back in the morning.
Instead, Long climbed the fire escape to the sixth-story apartment, peeked through the window and spotted a semi-conscious James, 61, lying on the floor.
He called the Emergency Service Unit, whose officers broke down the door.
Jones was rushed to Kings County Hospital, where doctors said last night that she was expected to recover.
“They were magnificent,” gushed a grateful Alexis. “They went beyond the call. They saved her life.”
