A Muslim man who helped rescue a vicar pinned under a car after a collision will receive a bravery award at the Houses of Parliament this week.
Zulfiqar Afsar was part of a group of men who rushed to the aid of Reverend Mike Jones when he was crushed by a car last May while cycling.
The Reverend avoided serious injury and doctors said he was the ‘luckiest man in the country’.
Since the incident, Mr Afsar says he has a received a number of awards for his part in the rescue.
He said: “I did not think I would get them and I was not expecting them. I’m surprised about it.
“As a Muslim it’s something I would do regardless of faith. Our core teachings are for Muslims to help anybody and everybody.
“It’s something I would expect anybody else to have done.”
