A homeless man is being hailed a hero after protecting the 50 vulnerable people staying in his hostel when a suspected killer tried to break in. The man who allegedly killed three people in Nottingham and hit three others with a van is believed to have tried to enter Seely Hirst House on Mapperley Road through Trevor Proverb's window.
The former forklift driver explained he wasn't having it, and claims he punched the intruder in the face, which sent him backwards, before Trevor slammed his window shut. Trevor said: “He wasn’t getting in my gaff – if he had it could have got messy.
"Others could have died. I could have been his next victim.” It has been reported that the man returned moments later to try and smash the glass, but then walked off reports The Daily Mirror.
