Bradford Street Angels save life

Bradford Street Angels made the front page of the local Telegraph and Argus newspaper on Monday, after saving the life of a woman who collapsed outside a nightclub.

Street Angels co-ordinator John Dinsdale was full of praise for the way his colleagues acted at the incident on Saturday, April 12.

He said: “Our medic team was first to the scene and, according to the paramedics, saved the woman’s life. The volunteers did an excellent, very professional job.

“Fortunately, this kind of incident is not common but we were involved in another serious incident just before Christmas when a young man fell in front of a car on Prince’s Way and was killed.

“We were first on the scene at that incident too and helped paramedics and police protect the scene. That’s what we’re there to do. We don’t want these kind of incidents to happen, but when they do we will hopefully be there to help.”
