A hero!
A 24-year-old removal porter saved the life of a man who collapsed in a Newcastle café.
Sam Collard was working on Shields Road in Byker when he heard a commotion from across the road. When he ran over, he found a man lying unconscious on the floor.
Without hesitation, Sam called 999 and began performing CPR. He continued for around 10 to 15 minutes until paramedics arrived, although he later said it felt like "an hour".
Paramedics then took over and used a defibrillator on the man, known as Barry, before taking him to hospital, where he was placed in a medically induced coma.
Thankfully, Sam has since been told by Barry's family that Barry has woken up and is beginning his recovery.
