U.K. Officer Hospitalized In Russian Poisoning Case Released As A Second Is Admitted

The policeman who responded to the scene of the nerve agent attack on a former spy was released Thursday, as another officer exposed to the deadly chemical was being treated for minor symptoms.

The police officer who was hospitalized after rushing to help a former Russian spy and his daughter suffering from a poison attack in Salisbury, England, was discharged Thursday.

In a statement released by police, Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey said he needs more time to regroup and recover but that normal life "will never be the same."

Bailey was treated at Salisbury that the U.K. government says was used to target former intelligence officer Sergie Skirpal, 66, and Yulia, 33.
