THERE were several "very good Samaritans" in Vicar Street, Kidderminster, on Thursday, October 10, at about 10.30am, who came to my wife's assistance after she tripped and fell heavily.

These good folk summoned an ambulance on a mobile phone, and looked after her, her handbag and shopping, until help arrived.

We are both deeply grateful to them.
