London banker dies after trying to save couple from gang assault
uploaded by francisrivera
A very sad case is being reported in the UK. A city banker and father of two has died after trying to depend a young couple, who were strangers to him, from a gang attack.
A senior banking executive died of head injuries after he intervened in a street brawl.
Police said Frank McGarahan, 45, who was the chief operating officer of Barclays Wealth, sustained a "fatal injury" early on Sunday morning after witnessing an assault in Norwich. Witnesses said the father-of-two intervened when a group of youths assaulted a young couple.
He was waiting with his one of his younger brothers and another relative when the incident occurred.
A member of Mr McGarahan's family told the Daily Mail: "They were at the back of the queue waiting quietly to go back to their hotel when they saw an assault taking place on a young man and his girlfriend by a mob of nine or 10 blokes in their early 20s.

Dave Keating, I like this story. It's good stuff.
Nice to know there are still heroes in the world, but what a bloody tragedy.

The 'Clockwork Orange' nightmare that is he modern UK is the direct result of the greedy practices perpetuated by this banker and his colleagues. Nobody deserves to die, but sometimes it is useful to connect the dots once in awhile.

Dave Keating, I like this story. It's good stuff. It is very sad to learn about his death. Hopefully, the gang members will be brought to justice.

Dave Keating, I like this story. It's good stuff. I admire his kind, the ones who would rather burn out than just fade.
