A man has thanked two police officers who helped save his life after he was run over by a taxi.
Landscape gardener Peter Pope, who was seriously injured in the incident in Scalford Road, Melton, in December, showed his gratitude to PC Anthony Brewin and Special Constable Kimberly Pulley.
Mr Pope met the two officers at Melton Police Station last night to present them with a plaque each.
Mr Pope said: "I am so grateful to the officers that responded and looked after me, they really are life savers.
"Without their assistance that night I might not be here today.
"I would also like to thank the staff at the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham who did a remarkable job the whole time I was there."

The plaques carried each officers name and collar number and the word "lifesaver".
PC Brewin, who is based at the Keyham Lane Police Station in Hamilton, said: "This is a lovely gesture from Mr Pope.
"It was great to see him looking so well and getting on with his life."
PC Brewin told how he was the first officer on the scene in the early hours of the morning and arrived to see Mr Pope under a taxi.
He said: "I dragged him out and he was not breathing.
"His airways seemed to be blocked so I used a water bottle to squirt water up his nose.
"That cleared an airway and he started to breathe.
"I got to work on him while waiting for the paramedics to arrive."
Special Constable Pulley said she arrive to see her colleague attending to Mr Pope.
She said: "I helped PC Brewin give Mr Pope first aid, trying to stem the blood flow.
"We were talking to him trying to keep him with us until the ambulance arrived.
"Mr Pope is a nice man and it was good to meet him properly and to say hello to his parents and siblings too.
"For him to present us with a plaque each like this shows juts how thoughtful he is."
Taxi driver Alan Gibbon, of Drummond Walk, Melton, pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention when he appeared at Leicester Magistrates' Court last month.
The court heard that Mr Pope was drunk and had laid down in the road.
Gibbon had six points added to his driving licence. He was also fined £169 and ordered to pay £85 court costs and a £30 victim charge.
