A GOOD Samaritan helped a man who became unwell on Worcester Bridge today (January 23).

The member of the public supported the ill male, aged in his mid-50s, before the authorities arrived.

West Mercia Police were called to the incident, which took place at about 2.16pm, after "concerns for the welfare" of the individual were raised.

One West Midlands Ambulance Service ambulance attended and treated the man on site before taking him to Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
