Bold army aviator saves stabbed woman
WO Jason Steward AAC commended by Thames Valley Chief Constable:
"Thames Valley Police Chief Constable Sara Thornton has commended an army helicopter pilot for his off-duty heroics while visiting friends in Oxfordshire. Warrant Officer First Class Jason Steward, from Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, is a helicopter instructor from 9 Regiment Army Air Corps based in North Yorkshire.
He has recently returned from Afghanistan.
While staying with friends in Didcot last year, Jason heard the cries of a woman. He looked out to see two women being pursued by a man with a large knife.
He followed them into a house, where one of the women was being attacked. Jason managed to tackle the man, who had the knife raised to stab the woman, disarming him and dragging him away from the victim. He then restrained the attacker until police arrived."
Full story
Sounds very hairy, so very well done
Edit - ironically the attacker was an Afghan.
