A ‘kind-hearted gentleman’ came to the rescue of an elderly woman today (January 23) when he towed her broken-down car off the A55 .

The thoughtful man even made the driver of the car a cup of tea, according to North West Motorway Police (NWMP).

A tweet by the NWMP said that a vehicle driven by an elderly lady broke down on the road just before the junction with the busy M53 on the outskirts of Chester .

Police praised the thoughtful nature of the mystery member of the public.
