A YOUNG GIRL HAS been celebrated due to her bravery in helping a bloodied woman left crying and injured in public.
Demi O'Sullivan has been rewarded for the kindness she showed to a woman with a bleeding head wound sitting on a doorstep.
13-year-old O'Sullivan stopped to ask the woman about her injuries and found she'd been attacked by her physically abusive boyfriend.
The woman was sitting on the doorstep of her own residence but had been locked out by her violent boyfriend, left to weep and bleed on the pavement,
Quick thinking O'Sullivan called the authorities and brought the victim to her home to await the ambulance and police force.
Speaking to Liverpool Echo, the teenager said her mum was a great help in aiding the injured woman: "I called the police and ambulance on her phone and took her around the corner, away from the house.
"I then ran home to get a cloth. My mum was in and she came with me to help."
Bernie, the mother to Demi said that she was amazed by her daughter's fast actions in helping the victim: "She was out the door telling me to quickly get a cloth and she was running off and trying to tell me what happened.
She said she was proud of her daughter: "I was made up with what Demi had done. Especially as three other people just walked past and didn’t do anything."
O'Sullivan has since been rewarded for her efforts, receiving a police tour and a certificate of acknowledgement from Cheshire Constabulary.
Before O'Sullivan stopped to help the woman, 3 strangers had passed the victim and ignored her.
When asked why she stopped to enquire about the crying woman, O'Sullivan said she just wanted to help: "She was crying and I didn’t want to see someone hurt like that and I wanted to see something done about it."
