PRAISE is being heaped on a caring stranger after they came to the aid of a man who had collapsed in the street.

Alex Coope, 22, from High Wycombe, is now desperate to thank the stranger after they called an ambulance for him as he lay in the street after having a seizure.

The IT support analyst was walking home from work along Castle Street in High Wycombe at around 5.30pm when he collapsed hitting his head on the curb and damaging his eye.

He said: "All I remember is saying goodbye to my boss. It's all a bit of a blur, I had some sort of fit and woke up in the ambulance."

Initially it was thought that Alex may have been attacked, but after checking with police, CCTV images have shown no indication of this. Alex, pictured, also praised Wycombe A&E where he was treated and now wants to thank the person who helped him out recently (February 14).

He said: "I would just like to thank them very much for what they did. I want to make sure that the person who called the ambulance for me knows that I am grateful."
