The malls were filled with holiday shoppers on Black Friday, including someone who was a lifesaver for one lucky shopper.

17-year-old Sarah Suchower was at Bellevue Square with her aunt Friday when a man collapsed outside Nordstrom and the medical scout raced into action.

"Security started coming up and we yelled for an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) and one was brought over. After doing a series of compressions we realized he still didn't have a pulse so we hooked up the AED and it shocked him once and we continued to do compressions and that was when the EMTs got there," says Suchower.

The man was hospitalized but is said to be recovering thanks to the 17-year-old Bonney Lake High junior who wants to be a doctor one day.
