June, 1, 2007

A WOMAN who collapsed on a night out says Wakefield’s Street Angels saved her life.

The 21-year-old, who does not want to be named, fears she may have had her drink spiked while in the city centre on Saturday night.

At about 1am she says she suddenly passed out while on Westgate.

She said: “I was panicking, I do not know what happened.

“I was vulnerable, there was no way I could protect or defend myself.

“I felt terrible and was in a real state – it was such a shock.

“Anything could have happened to me. I could have been in an accident or attacked.”

The 21-year-old, from Durkar, was led into the safe care of the Street Angels.

She said: “I was rescued by two angels and will never forget the kindness they showed me.

“They probably saved my life. I cannot praise or thank them highly enough.”

The Street Angels took her to their base, a late-night cafe at the Westmorland Centre near to Wakefield Cathedral, kept her safe and made sure she got home safely

Ben Brown, Street Angels co-ordinator, said: “We are just glad we could help this young woman, but that is what we are here for and we are just doing what we said we would.”
