Liverpool's Mo Salah hailed as 'real-life hero' after 'saving homeless man from thugs and giving him £100'
Liverpool star Mo Salah has proved himself to be a hero off the pitch as well as on it after he reportedly saved a homeless man from being harassed by a group of thugs, before handing him £100 ($130).
The incident is said to have happened after the Reds’ 3-1 win over Arsenal on September 28, when the Egyptian arrived at a petrol station near Anfield and saw a group of men harassing David Craig.
The 50-year-old told The Sun: “Mo was every bit as wonderful as he is for Liverpool on the pitch.
“He heard what a group of lads were saying to me, then turned to them and said, ‘That could be you in a few years’.
“I only knew I wasn’t hallucinating when Mo incredibly handed me £100. What a complete legend.”
The incident was caught on CCTV, which appeared to show Salah intervening on Craig’s behalf.
