One of two surgeons who treated victims on the streets in the aftermath of a mass shooting in Krakow, Poland said his colleague"undoubtedly" saved the life of a gravely injured police officer.

The pair were eating near the city's Main Market Square on Saturday when a gunman began firing at random, killing six and injuring 15.

The doctors raced to treat both the attacker and two officers shot while subduing the perpetrator.
