Tory MP David Davis rushed to rescue a homeless man who was being violently attacked by two thugs.
While on his way home, former SAS reservis Mr Davis said he saw two people chasing a rough sleeper before kicking the man repeatedly.
Speaking to The Standard, he said: “These two guys were kicking seven bells out of him.”
The Conservative MP, 74, intervened after seeing a “spray of blood” as the attackers kicked the man’s head at around 11pm on Great Peter Street, Westminster, on Tuesday.
The 74-year-old former Brexit secretary said the man was so “badly beaten up” that he let him stay in his home on his sofa overnight to recover, he told the BBC.
However, the victim was still bleeding in the morning so Mr Davis rushed him to A&E.
The MP for Haltemprice and Howden told PA: “I had to get between them, be very aggressive, one of them took a couple of swings at me and I had to deal with that, slightly manhandle him.
“I didn’t hit them, if you hit them you’ve got to hit them really hard and you might kill them, so I tried not to get into that, otherwise I’d be talking from a prison cell.
“I was basically being very aggressive, one of them started to back away and one of them, the more aggressive one, was a bit shocked and that gave me time to get the victim on his feet and away.
“Eventually it was alright, I think the aggressive one decided he didn’t want a straight-on confrontation with me.”
