Nice story, and a worthy PSA.

it’s good to read a good news story for once 😀 hope the man finds him.

good to read a good news story for once

Yep, they’re few and far between, sadly.

Someone must know someone who once came to work saying, ‘You’ll never guess what happened on the way to work……’

I’m going to give this a shameless self-bump for the daytime hordes, as I think this is a good cause.

A “paging” thread?

* reported *

From 6 years ago? As shots go, I think that’s quite a lengthy one.

It is a nice story but Mike may well not want to be found. It’s great that the guy turned his life around but from the sounds of it, he’s publicising a film, etc and though ‘Mike’ may have had similar experiences, he may well want to be moving on from that.

Or he may just be altruistic and not feel the need for any recognition.

Update:

A video blogger stopped by a stranger from jumping into a river has been reunited with the man who saved him.

Jonny Benjamin, 26, was on Waterloo Bridge in January 2008 after being diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder when Neil Laybourn intervened……
