John Breda dedicated 25 years to the New South Wales Police Force. One Australia Day, he was attacked with a knife while apprehending a child sex offender.
John lay on the ground severely injured and struggling for survival.
The immediate intervention by the team at St Vincent’s Hospital proved critical in saving his life.
However, the physical wounds were only part of the ordeal. John’s experience is a profound demonstration of resilience and the determination to overcome adversity.
