Episode Details

In a remarkable act of bravery, a hospital patient in Leeds, Mr. Newby, prevented a potential massacre by talking a self-radicalized former hospital worker, Farooq, out of detonating a pressure cooker bomb in the maternity wing. Newby, who was there for his own mental health issues, approached Farooq out of instinct, kept him talking away from the building, and even shared a hug to build trust before calling authorities. Newby is set to receive the George Medal for his actions, highlighting the power of human connection in averting disaster.
