Greater Manchester Police has presented two Royal Manchester Children's Hospital workers with an award, after they helped a woman in distress while off duty.
In February both Mary-Kate and Irene were making their way home, having finished a day’s work at the children's hospital.
At around 5pm in the Piccadilly area they noticed a clearly distraught young woman acting erratically.
Concerned for her wellbeing, both Mary-Kate and Irene approached the woman and quickly intervened when she stepped into the road and was narrowly missed by a number of oncoming vehicles, including a bus.
The woman refused to cooperate with a male police officer unless both Mary-Kate and Irene accompanied them.
Without hesitation, they both decided to help and, after travelling to the police station, they stayed with her until she had been interviewed by a female officer.
