The newlywed paramedic who was fatally stabbed outside a Sydney fast-food restaurant has been described by his family as an "exceptional" man, whose compassion "touched the lives" of many.
Steven Tougher, 29, was on a break with his NSW Ambulance colleagues outside a Campbelltown McDonald's when they activated a duress alarm at 5:30am on Friday.
He was just hours away from the end of his shift.
