KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — Kalamazoo mayor Bobby Hopewell is being heralded as a hero after tending to a man whe fell out of a window and broke leg near Mount Olivet Road.
The mayoral response is what one campaign volunteer is claiming happened, making record of the event on Facebook.
Hopewell was campaigning door-to-door prior to next month’s city election, when they heard the yells of the injured victim and responded.
Hopewell, a former paramedic, knew exactly what to do until EMTs arrived.
The mayor responded in his own Facebook post, saying that it has been a while since he has used any of his skills as a first responder.
When he is not serving as mayor, Hopewell works as an executive at a medical billing firm.
