A mum-of-four wants to track down an off-duty paramedic who 'kept her calm' after a frightening incident in Manchester city centre.

Wendy Pitts, 43, was rushed to hospital after a serious fall in her wheelchair outside Victoria Station on Tuesday morning. She had caught the train from her home in Warrington to Manchester for a work event.
