A Mirfield man described how he brought a pedestrian back from the dead “two or three times” by giving him CPR on the side of the road.

The 39-year-old said he gave the man continuous CPR for about 20 minutes before paramedics were on site.

Daniel is now looking for information about the condition of the man – whom he only knows as Matthew.
On Friday he wrote on the Mirfield Matters Facebook group: “Everyone has some information about the guy I resuscitated (sic) this morning in Mirfield around 10:30 am as it’s going on in my head.”
And he said to YorkshireLive, “I would like to know how he’s doing and if he’s okay.
“Something drew me to him that day – I’d love to meet him if I can.”
