Walter Stanley - Spital, Wirral

In December 2008, 82 year old Walter Stanley was the only person on a crowded road to come to the aid of a man being assaulted so violently that his shoulder was dislocated. Despite his frailty and having to balance himself with a stick, he took hold of the offender before being knocked to the ground himself. His intervention spurred onlookers into action and the attack was halted.
