‘What a gent’: David Beckham helps elderly woman collapsed in street

by

As if we needed another reason to love David Beckham.

On the way back to his Kensington home this weekend, the dad-of-four came across an elderly woman who had collapsed in the street.

With a fire engine on the scene to assist her, and an ambulance on the way, most people would likely drive on and leave the professionals to it.

Not David Beckham.

The 41-year-old moved his car in front of the lady, so as to block any oncoming traffic from getting too close.

Giving her a bottle of water, David waited until the paramedics arrived before going about his day.

And it wasn’t just the elderly lady who was thankful for the help; onlookers were shocked and impressed to witness the A-lister’s act of kindness.

“Was helping an old lady who fell over on my lunch break, and guess who drives up to help? David Beckham. That’s who. What a gentleman,” wrote one passer-by.

A spokesman for the London Fire Brigade also commented on the incident, saying:

“At around 4.45pm, a fire engine was flagged down to an elderly woman who had tripped when crossing the road, and fell and hit her head.

“David Beckham was parked nearby and had already given her a bottle of water. He assisted and, when the ambulance arrived, was thanked and told he could move on.”
