Would you stand up for someone who was being attacked?

Posted by Visiter Newsdesk on May 15, 2008 5:36 PM | 

WHAT would you do if you saw someone surrounded and being attacked by a group of thugs?
You could be hurt too. Would you hesitate - or dive in without a second thought?
Sefton Council chief executive Graham Haywood was sitting in his office when he saw police community support officer Simon Hart being pelted with bottles and then mobbed. The PCSO today tells the Visiter how he could have been seriously injured had no-one stepped in to help.
Mr Haywood rushed into the street, taking a town hall attendant with him, and as the police sirens sounded the culprits fled.
A community in which we live is only as good as we all make it.
Simon Hart today thanks Mr Haywood for standing up and being counted on his behalf.
It is a fine example he has set us all.
