Tony Davis, 47, was among those who rushed to help PC Keith Palmer when he was stabbed in London in 2017. Mr Davis, who had a long career in the British Army, jumped over a fence and ran to help the injured officer, reports Chronicle Live.

Mr Davis, a boxing coach, was later awarded a bravery medal for trying to save the police officer. 

But now he is in hospital in Turkey with coronavirus, and has posted a picture of himself in his bed.

He wrote: “This is to show that Covid ain’t no joke! I’ve been in this hospital in Istanbul for over a week now and whilst the staff are fantastic, nobody speaks English.

“This virus continues to suck the life out of me and just been informed that I need the strongest drugs.”

Mr Davis now works in Bahrain but was admitted to hospital last week. 

His friends and colleagues are trying to support him, Mr Davis said.

The former soldier, originally from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, added: “My old Army pals and my ex GB Boxers family who have arranged for much need supplies (food, clothing, toiletries etc) to be delivered to my hospital which is no easy feat. Respect!

“The support everyone has shown has given me a huge lift and a much needed one! I really do appreciate it and I can’t let this poxy virus get one over me.”

PC Palmer died after evil Khalid Masood stabbed him in Westminster.

The terrorist had already ploughed an SUV into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, killing four people before he attacked the officer.

Mr Davis and other desperate passersby were praised for their valiant efforts.
