A group of kind strangers stepped in to help save the life of a man on a Sunderland bridge.
Anthony Gibson, Charmette Rogers, and David and Jacqueline Barkel were travelling across the Wearmouth Bridge shortly after 1pm on September 24 when each of them happened to spot a distressed man who appeared to be on the wrong side of the railings.
They called the police and, while they waited for emergency crews to arrive, Anthony, Charmette, David and Jaqueline – who had parked their cars safely nearby - decided they couldn’t leave the man alone.
