LONDON (Reuters) - A British police officer, one of the first to respond to the poisoning of a former Russian double agent, was released from hospital on Thursday after more than two weeks of treatment, officials said.
Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey was left seriously ill after taking part in the early response to the attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the southern English city of Salisbury on March 4.
"People ask me how I am feeling – but there are really no words to explain how I feel right now," he said in statement issued by his local force. "Surreal is the word that keeps cropping up - and it really has been completely surreal."
