A CANNINGTON man is hoping to trace the quick thinking stranger who saved his life.

Mr AJ Moore, suffered a cardiac arrest outside the newsagent in Brook Street, Cannington around three weeks ago.

He now wants to thank the man who stopped and helped him, before he was airlifted to hospital.

Mr Moore said: "Three weeks ago I suffered a cardiac arrest outside the newsagent.

"I would like to thank everyone who helped on the scene before I was airlifted to hospital.

"I don't remember anything, but the girl in the butchers gave me the kiss of life and I've been able to thank her, but I would like to personally thank and trace the man who gave me heart massage.

"I've been told he pulled up in a van and said he had worked in care and took over.

"He is a good samaritan and he saved my life, and I would like to personally thank him.

"He was in the right spot at the right time and I hope someone might know him.

"People have seen him around but I don't know if he's local."

If you are the kind stranger or know who he is, please contact Mr Moore on 01278 652201.
