A brave Tynemouth man leaped into action to help a woman being attacked on the Metro using his Kung Fu moves.
Tony Pinkerton was travelling home from his martial arts training in Newcastle city centre at around 9pm on March 8 when he saw a man follow a woman onto the train at Wallsend and begin to attack her.
The 60-year-old told Chronicle Live he was forced to use his Kung Fu skills for the first time when he intervened to defend the woman during the shocking incident.
