The world needs more people like Dang Vuong.

For starters, the car salesman from Nottingham, England, has a very punchy name, and I'm envious of it.

Secondly, he rushed to the aid of a grandma who accidentally called the wrong number (or the Vuong number?) after she fell while running a bath.

She was meant to dial for her daughter but got the 34-year-old maverick instead.

Dang said,

She called our landline and got through to our receptionist, who asked me what to do. I said, I'll go and make sure she's OK – at first I thought she was just across the road, it turned out she was about two miles away. I drove over there while our receptionist kept her talking on the phone.

He arrived a short while later to find the woman collapsed by the bath.

Dang continued,

When I arrived, she was in shock more than anything, there was blood on her face and the bath was overflowing. I told her who I was and then scooped her up and put her on the sofa and covered her with a blanket and waited until her carers and family came.

Just another day for our hero, Dang. Good human points for him.
