Said the following about Antony Warne and Karl Maher:

“Antony and Karl were initially called to an aggressive group on the station platform, when they arrived a male was experiencing health problem and collapsed so Antony and Karl administered first aid putting him in the recovery position but once the rest of the group left the station the male completely changed his behaviour picking himself up and shouting that he wanted to die and to let him jump in front of a train. Antony and Karl had to act quickly and managed to hold onto the male while a train passed through the station, he also admitted to attempting to take his own life earlier in the day. The male made several attempts to jump onto the track but luckily Antony and Karl managed to get him outside the station and keep hold of him until BTP arrived. Antony and Karl's quick actions that day saved the males life.“
