NEWSREADER CATHY’S HERO

FIREFIGHTER Nathan Cane, from Stockport, was off-duty in London’s Euston Station when he saved the life of John Newman, the uncle of Channel 4 news presenter Cathy Newman.

Mr Newman had collapsed on the concourse after suffering a cardiac arrest, and Nathan, 45, began CPR and called British Transport Police officers to bring a defibrillator.

Nathan then used the defibrillator to bring Mr Newman back to life, and although he was given a heart bypass in hospital, he has since made a full recovery.

Broadcaster Cathy, who presented the special award to Nathan, right, said: ‘My uncle would not be alive were it not for the actions of Nathan and those two British Transport Police officers.’
