Royal military policeman to be award for bravery
An unarmed military policeman who single-handedly captured three armed criminals is to receive one of Britain's highest awards for valour tomorrow (Thursday).
Corporal Martin Andrews spotted a man behaving suspiciously in Harbour Road, Admiralty. Having sent his colleague to report the incident at Wan Chai Police Station, Cpl Andrews gave chase.
The man, however, turned and pointed a pistol at him. When two other armed men approached, Cpl Andrews used the distraction to disarm the first man, then ordered the others to surrender. The men were handed over to the civil police.
