Army Cadet Nasim Ahmed was volunteering at a charity dinner in Small Heath, Birmingham, when he was alerted to an attack in the car park, the PCC's office said.

The victim had been stabbed after confronting a car thief. Nasim grabbed a medical kit from the venue and applying pressure to stem the flow of bleeding, he tended to two six-inch-deep knife wounds.

Paramedics then drove the victim to hospital for emergency treatment.

Nasim said: "I am deeply honoured with knowing that my actions ensured that the victim survived such a horrific incident."

West Midlands PCC David Jamieson said his actions "showed bravery beyond his years".

"His courage and first aid skills were crucial in saving a man’s life," Mr Jamieson said.

"Without Nasim’s intervention, the story may have been very different."
