Two young boys have been hailed heroes for saving a man's life after they found him lying in a pool of blood.
Shiyel Wilkins, nine, and his little brother Chavaliay Stephenson, five, were riding their bikes home when they noticed injured Anthony Spagnoly who had fallen from his ladder in Francis Road, Harrow.
It is believed he was suffering from a serious head injury, a punctured lung and a broken collar bone.
But thanks to the boys' quick thinking they raised the alarm and found a neighbour who rang for an ambulance.
Shiyel, who is a pupil at Norbury First and Middle School in Welldon Crescent, Harrow, said: "I was cycling back with my brother and we saw the man lying there. I panicked and starting screaming for help.
"A nice lady came out and helped us and I told her to ring for an ambulance. I stayed with the man until it came and helped the paramedics get out their equipment. I also tried talking to the man and kept telling him he was going to be okay.
"There was so much blood on the floor. It made me feel a bit sick. I couldn't eat my dinner later on."
The 66-year-old neighbour, who did not wish to be named, stayed with the boys throughout the ordeal which happened on August 6. She said: "I was down the back of my garden and I heard them screaming help. At first I thought it was a child but then I saw the man lying there.
"I can't speak more highly of those boys, I am just in awe of them. They did a brilliant job raising the alarm.
"The younger one kept on looking at me and saying 'lady are you alright?' I told him I'm alright I'm more concerned that you're alright.
"When their mum saw them she said 'Oh what have you done,' but I told her she should be very proud of her boys, they were fantastic."
Mother-of-three, Charlene Stevenson, of Crofts Road, Harrow, is overjoyed and spoke of her pride after learning her sons came to the rescue.
She said: "In the past we have spoken about what to do in an emergency and they did so well. I am so proud of my wonderful boys. The neighbour brought them back to our house and rewarded them with some chocolate and we were all calling them little heroes.
"If it wasn't for them then the injured man may have been there for a while, nobody would have known and his condition could have got worse. I usually don't let them out of my sight but I am glad they were around to help the injured man."
