A cop who went from fighting crime to fighting for his life is now hoping to get home to his family after 17 MONTHS in hospital.
Darren White, who worked on the frontline for Greater Manchester Police for more than 20 years, suffered a near fatal intracranial bleed, causing a hemorrhagic stroke in September 2021. More than 17 months on from when he was admitted to Salford Royal Hospital for emergency surgery, the 40-year-old now wants to come home to Ashton in Wigan to finish off his recovery.
The father-of-two, who was on the scene during the Manchester Arena bombing and the riots during his time as an officer, has been left with left side paralysis and some cognitive impairment as a result of the severe stroke.
